Academic Support

The Peer Tutoring program is a free service offered to College of the North Atlantic students. The program is designed to provide remedial assistance to students who, after a concentrated effort, are still experiencing difficulty in a particular subject area. Such students may be paired with a student who has been approved to tutor in the same subject area.

Peer tutors are compensated at a rate established by the campus. In many instances, instructors will identify students who would benefit from peer tutoring, as well as students who they feel would be suitable tutors. Although bringing two students together in a tutoring match-up doesn’t guarantee success, the process has proven to be effective.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you feel you can benefit from this service. Peer Tutoring is offered both on-campus and online to make it more accessible to our students. You can work with a counsellor at your campus for assistance in arranging a tutor or you can book an online session (check for availability of tutors in your subject area). Application forms are available from the Student Services Office or you can download the PDF's below.
