TUTORING at UW-Waukesha's Study Center

Tutor Helping a Student


Two types of tutoring are offered:

Individual Tutoring:

Tutors help students understand basic course concepts, use better methods of
study, and develop the necessary skills to improve in their classes.

For assistance, students may:

  1. Apply to work with a tutor on a regular basis.
  2. Make an appointment to see a tutor for a one-time session.
  3. Come in for walk-in help with short-term problems in math and English.
  4. Students can get help with writing on-line as well by using the Online Writing Lab (OWL.)

How to Apply for a Tutor:

You may schedule a single appointment for an English or math tutor by asking at the front desk.

To meet with a tutor on a regular weekly basis, request an application at the front desk of the Study Center, Westview Hall 100.

  1. If there is a tutor available for your subject, the coordinator will help you contact the tutor to schedule
    your appointments.
  2. If no tutor is currently available, the coordinator will try to locate one for you.

Group Study:

Trained student leaders guide structured study groups for courses such as chemistry, history, math, and
psychology. Usually the groups are formed during the second week of school with the times and locations of study groups announced in the participating classes and posted on the bulletin board outside of the Study Center. Structured Study Group emphasizes mastery of the concepts found in high risk courses using group problem-solving skills. Students who utilize Structured Study Group tend to earn at least a half a grade higher than those who do not attend.

To sign up:

Simply show up when the study group meets. The topic for each session will be different
 

How to Become a Tutor or Group Study Leader:

Students wishing to become tutors or group study leaders should seek their professor's recommendation, complete a tutor
application, and attend a training session prior to the semester they wish to tutor.

Students who have questions about becoming a tutor or group study leader may contact the Study Center by calling (262) 521-5476.
