Academic Tutoring and Peer Support

Tutoring Services provide students with focused academic support in a steady, comfortable environment. Our peer tutors are trained, faculty-endorsed students who have succeeded in their coursework and can help you build confidence and independence as a learner. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome when space is available.

Mission Statement

PennWest Tutoring Services Office provides students specialized academic tutoring in a safe environment to help them become confident and independent learners.
