During an online peer tutoring session, you will engage with a Peer Tutor to find
solutions to problems, learn best practices for studying course material, and gain
a deeper understanding of the course content. To benefit the most from a peer tutoring
session, come prepared with materials and questions you would like to discuss. Additionally,
please follow these recommendations to ensure a productive tutoring session:
Complete the Academic Success Center Agreement
If this is your first visit, ensure that you have completed the prior to joining the session.
Download the Microsoft Teams App
For full functionality during the session, download the Microsoft Teams app rather
than using the browser version. The app provides access to features like Whiteboard,
which tutors frequently use to allow you to show your work and explain your thought
processes better.
Writing with a keypad or mouse can be slow, so if you have a device like a Wacom tablet,
iPad, or even a phone depending on preference, you can connect it as a secondary device
to write more easily on the Whiteboard.
Ensure you turn off the speaker, microphone, and incoming video on your writing device
to prevent audio issues like echoing.
If you don’t have a writing device, you can still use your touchpad or type out equations
and steps, or upload pictures of your work directly to Teams or the Whiteboard to
