Peer Tutoring

What is it?

When can I start?

Appointments can be booked 48 hours from the time of matching, if an appropriate tutor is available. Should we not have a tutor registered for the requested subject, it may take a little longer to make a match.

 

Cost?

For each hour of tutoring, students pay $5.00. Tutors are paid $11.00 per hour. The difference is subsidized by various parties. Students with severe financial hardship can apply to C224 Peer Tutoring Centre for help in covering costs.
