The 库珀中心 offers free peer tutoring sessions to all NWU and Wesleyan Honors Academy students. Tutors are NWU students who have demonstrated competence in specific subject areas and have good communication skills. They are trained to utilize collaborative learning techniques and model how to learn, rather than solely focusing on the course content. Tutors facilitate both individual and group sessions to assist their peers with critical thinking and strategies that can transfer across disciplines and courses.

Students who work with 库珀中心 tutors will discover and apply appropriate study strategies (e.g., 笔记, 组织, questioning techniques, vocabulary acquisition, and test preparation) as they review content and materials together.

To reserve a session, click the "Schedule an Appointment" button.
