Request a Tutor

Tutoring is available at no cost to all enrolled students at St. Norbert College. Tutors are peers who have been recommended by St. Norbert College faculty to help you understand the concepts discussed in your courses that you cannot resolve on your own using your course materials. This service is a supplement to classroom instruction; assistance available during professor’s office hours; and teaching assistants (TAs). Tutoring is available for any class for which we have a qualified tutor.

General Tutoring Information

• If your course offers Academic Peer Mentoring (APM), you must consistently attend APM sessions and if you feel you are struggling even further, reach out to our office for additional support. 
• Tutoring sessions may be reduced in duration, limited in number, or converted to group sessions depending on student need and tutor availability for any given subject at any given time. 
• Sessions with your tutor are once per week for an hour and should hold the same priority as your courses.
