Peer Tutoring and Supplemental Instructor Program

The Powell Resource Center employs students to serve as Tutors and Supplemental Instructors (SIs) to help students who are having difficulty with a particular subject. Tutors or SIs are available for a majority of courses, and their services are free to students.

Find a Tutor or SI To gain help with writing papers, go to Academic Support Services (second floor of Wiley Hall) during the day and go to the Writing Center on second floor of McGlothlin Street Hall after 3:00 PM.

To locate help for a particular course, go to the Quantitative Literacy Center (QLC) on the second floor of Wiley Hall. In addition to providing help with numbers in any course (math, statistics, research), the QLC also serves as a centralized location for all students needing help with content in any specific course. Day/Time/ Location of all sessions by tutors and Supplemental instructors are posted outside the QLC or students may ask for help- session information at the Information Desk in the QLC Sunday through Thursdays from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

The Academic Support Services office can provide session information during day-time hours, or students may view the current list of tutors and SIs here.

If you do not see a tutor or SI for the course in which you need help, contact the Director of Academic Support Services.

Differences Between Tutors and SIs
SIs attend class meetings and take notes from which to prepare weekly review sessions. SIs also go through specific training and are introduced to guidelines from the National Supplemental Instruction Program.

The student must be recommended and approved by the professor who teaches the course and approved by the Director of Academic Support Services.
