Are you taking math, science, computer science, foreign language, music theory, symbolic logic -- any more-homework-than-paper-writing-based class?
Are you going to office hours, working with a study group, but still wishing you had some more individualized support?
Peer-to-Peer Learning is here to help!
For large-group or drop-in help:
Stay tuned for a blog post with info on all the Peer-Led help and workshop rooms on campus -- these are great resources for drop-in assistance, or in some cases structured review.
For more individualized, weekly, regular peer support:
Schedule a meeting to see if individual/small-group tutoring may be right for you! Small-group tutoring:
- Is free for Barnard students!
- Matches 1-3 Barnard students, who are taking the same class with the same instructor, with a peer tutor who is a fellow Barnard student who has taken this class or the equivalent.
- Requires a 2-hour-a-week time commitment: you, your tutor, and fellow group members will agree up on a regular weekly time or times, and you all commit to attend regularly.
- Has the same expectation of academic honest as the rest of the college -- if you're ever in doubt about the boundaries of allowable collaboration for a particular class, be sure to check with your instructor or ask the Honor Board.
- Is subject to availability. We make every effort to match all students who request tutors (and are constantly seeking to hire additional tutors), but we are not always able to accommodate all requests.
For additional support (in all classes, and particularly those where tutors may not be available), please also keep in mind:
- Instructors'/TA's office hours
- Writing Fellows
- Speaking Fellows
- Empirical Reasoning Center
- Personal Librarians
Want to apply to be a tutor? It's never too late -- we are always looking for more tutors!
