The philosophy of SSS tutoring services is to promote one-on-one sessions that meet on a regular ongoing basis throughout the semester. Peer tutors are trained in a 15-week class taught by our Academic Coordinator. Included in the curriculum are ethics, communication, confidentiality, learning styles, individual and group tutoring methods, and accurate record keeping. They work with a diverse population including students with disabilities, varying learning styles, students from different cultures and backgrounds.
