Student Tutoring Program

When you begin your education at Eastern College, we want you to know that you will be well-supported throughout your journey. If you find that you are having a bit of trouble with any of your classes, there are many different tools that you can use to get back on track. At Eastern College, we offer a Student Tutoring program where you can be assisted in your studies by your peers who have successfully completed the course you are currently taking.

By providing tutoring, we hope that our students will feel more comfortable and confident in their studies and in the classroom. The Student Tutoring program will also provide students with additional resources to help them be successful.

The goals of the peer tutoring program include: 

• Helping our students become independent learners; 
• Helping our students develop effective personal learning strategies; 
• Providing our students with a peer perspective on success in their programs; 
• Respecting and accommodating individual differences in learning; 
• Providing high achieving students with volunteer and professional development opportunities. 

The Student Tutoring program will fully train all students to be effective tutors. Campus Directors, instructors and staff facilitators will be responsible for vetting and choosing students who will take the role seriously and want to help their peers achieve their goals.

Student tutors will be given recognition during student assemblies and graduation and will receive a certificate as well as a letter of recommendation based on their tutoring.
