“I feel like the tutoring center has really provided a great service to the student body. It has also been very beneficial for the faculty, because it allows them to know that their students are coming here to get the help that they need. Some instructors even provide extra credit to their students if they come in and get help.” – Robin Turner, Academic Support Librarian

Free Tutoring Service

The Peer Tutoring Center is a free service where students can go to get help with their academic needs. It is an organization of students who have been recommended to Mrs. Turner by their professors and have expertise in specific subject areas.  

“Peer Tutoring is a really great way for students to be able to reinforce what their instructors have taught them in class,” said Turner. “All of our tutors that work with students have taken the exact classes that the students are taking, so they know some tips and tricks for how the instructors might design their tests, what to look out for, and how to study.”

Students can go to get help with:

•Writing
•Science
•Math
•Languages
•Business
•Organization
•Study skills
•and Test Preparation.

Signing Up Through the Library’s Website

The Center is located downstairs in the Merner Pfeiffer Library. They are open Monday through Thursday 8:30am – 10:00pm, Friday 8:30am – 5:00pm. Students can sign up through the library’s website, which is accessible through the TWU website.

A Great Place to Study

Not only is the Peer Tutoring Center a great place to get help, but the students are always welcome to stop by if they need a place to study.

“It’s a great service,” continued Turner. “I highly recommend everybody come in and visit at least once. Because once you do, you’ll want to come back again. Guarantee it.”
