Peer Tutoring Program

Academic Success Center peer tutors provide academic support to Winthrop students through hour-long, recurring, weekly tutoring appointments (one-on-one or small group). Tutoring services are offered during fall and spring semesters. Peer tutors are hired to help students with many courses on campus, primarily at the 100 and 200 level. The peer tutors are recommended by faculty and participate in our CRLA certified training program. The ASC now offers day of drop-in tutoring for courses. Please reach out to our center for more information.
