What to Expect at Drop-In Peer Tutoring

You are not expected to figure it out alone. Tutors at The Study have got your back!  

At The Study, you'll learn alongside classmates who are taking the same courses and peer tutors who have been in your shoes. Many students stop by for help with a question and end up finding a study group, a favorite study spot, or new friends in their major. 

As exams approach, The Study becomes a popular destination for students preparing for major assessments. To get the most benefit, students are encouraged to visit early and often rather than waiting until the last minute. In addition to peer tutoring, Transformative Learning offers Common Hour Study Groups that provide structured opportunities to review course material and prepare for exams alongside classmates.
