Students helping students
Student Instructor Reviews offer a second look at the class material. These interactive sessions help you understand concepts and practice problems so you’re prepared for whatever the test might bring. You may attend SI Reviews for courses that serve a professor other than yours.
On-Call Tutors are available at the Walk-In Tables at set hours to help you prepare and study for your classes. They can answer questions, direct you in problem solving, review concepts, or just be near if you have a question while studying. This service requires no appointment and can be used as often as you like.
Power Hours are dedicated walk-in table hours with specialized tutoring for specific courses that are in high demand. Students may visit general walk-in tables anytime for these courses as well.
Learning Teams consist of six to eight students enrolled in a specific course with a peer tutor, called the coach. Students can sign up to be part of a learning team during the AARC’s open enrollment periods. Learning Teams meet once a week.
Students may sign up for a series of weekly appointments with a tutor in a given subject for some limited courses. Appointments are 50 minutes long and can be secured during the AARC’s open enrollment periods. Due to high demand for one-on-one appointments, the attendance policy stated on the AARC home page is strictly enforced.
