Peer Tutoring As a student completes courses to fulfill the distribution requirement, he or she may find that they are not adequately prepared or lack aptitude for the required discipline. Tutors are available to assist students experiencing such difficulty. The tutoring relationship offers a unique opportunity to meet the individual needs of the student. This is particularly helpful when a course requires knowledge of material from previous courses. The goal of tutoring is to teach the student how to learn in the discipline. Students receiving tutoring can expect to learn ways to review and practice what they are learning using their particular learning style. The tutor is meant to supplement what is being taught in the classroom, not replace the professor. Tutors are required to collaborate with the class instructor. Applications to request a tutor are available from the Staff Associate for Advising in Biddle House, and in the office on the first floor of Bosler Hall. For information concerning tutoring, contact the Coordinator of Academic Resource Services, ext. 1080 or tutoring@dickinson.edu.
