Peer Tutors

Peer tutors are Hawkeye students who can help you be successful in your courses. They have a good knowledgebase in specific content areas, courses, or discipline areas and can model good study skills.

If you are receiving a C- grade or below in any of your courses, we can help you. You can be matched with a peer tutor if there is not a professional tutor who can tutor in that subject area.

To get a peer tutor:
