Why Peer Tutoring is Helpful

- Peer tutors have often had the same or similar struggles as their tutee.

- Peer tutors “speak the same language” and can connect with the student.

- Peer tutors provide academic support.

- Peer tutors serve as role models for their student tutees.

- Peer tutors often have great energy and enthusiasm for what they do because it’s a new function for them.

- Because your student is working with another student, he/she may be less anxious, may be more comfortable and less afraid to ask a “stupid” question.

When it’s okay to admit you need a tutor

Lets be real, this isn’t high school anymore. No one is holding our hand through this process and we are responsible for seeking out help on our own.

College > High School

The first step to recognizing you may need a tutor is the large difference between high school and college. You do not have a teacher constantly nagging you about that paper you had due five days ago. It will simply be a zero. Now its week three and you already have an F in the class. Is it time? The answer is yes. Getting help with course work is a great idea, no matter when it happens. Even if this happens last minute, getting help with that final paper can make a difference.

High Expectations

There are an increasing number of students experiencing difficulty adjusting to college.  Students need to adjust to the academic challenges, independence level, and friends and family separation. Does this sound like you?  All of these factors lead to a high level of stress leading to disappointment when trying to meet your expectations. 

Do you have a scholarship? Add this to your expectation list. Are you an athlete? Yup, add it. What about Greek life, Campus Activities Board, various clubs? The list goes on. This is constantly increasing the stress level of college students. Don’t let this be you. Sign up for a private tutor using StudyTree in order to reach these expectations and enjoy your college experience.

“While tutors once focused on helping children who were falling behind in particular subjects or had a learning disability, they are now being used far more to guide students through particularly tough courses and ensure their grades are equal to or above their peers’”
