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). 

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. 
• Students will be required to sign up for the group(s) they would like to attend. Students may sign up for one group per subject they are enrolled in.
• Groups meet at the same time each week, so it is important students select a group that works with their schedule. Groups will consist of 1 tutor and up to 6 students.
• Group sessions will only run if there are at least 2 students in attendance. If the session you sign up for has less than 2 students, please reach out to the Tutor Coordinator.
• If a student needs to change their time from their original appointment, they must speak with their tutor to approve the change and to ensure there is space available.
• If a student wants more than one tutoring session per week for a specific class, they must get approval from the Tutor Coordinator.
• There are no tutoring sessions during Finals Week - the last tutoring session will be held no later than 3:30 p.m. on the last day of classes. 

• Before you schedule an appointment, visit your professor during office hours to discuss the areas you are struggling in, and any strategies or advice they may have. 
• Tutor Appointments will begin during the second week of classes.
• Log into Trac Cloud to view the schedule and book an appointment. Please reference the detailed instructions to guide you through the scheduling process.
