Tutors employed through SSS are current Peru State College students who have met several
eligibility requirements: our tutors have taken the courses they are tutoring, have
demonstrated mastery in the content of those courses, are familiar with the instructors’
expectations, and have been recommended by those same instructors to become tutors.
Tutors also receive yearly training on learning styles, good study habits, problem-solving
skills, and other learning strategies in order to help their peers succeed. In addition,
this training program has been accredited by the College Reading and Learning Association
(CRLA).
The specific tutoring availability varies from semester to semester, but the SSS tutoring
service can safely be assumed to offer tutoring for many of the common introductory
courses (i.e. the 100 level courses and high-enrollment 200 level courses). For more
specialized 300 and 400 level courses, it would be best to contact the Student Intervention
Coordinator to check availability.
