The Peer Tutor Program is designed to provide all Saint Anselm College students quality academic assistance free of charge by offering individual and small group tutoring in most courses. This program only supplements the assistance provided by faculty members.

Peer Tutors are Saint Anselm sophomores, juniors and seniors employed by the Academic Resource Center.  All peer tutors have been recommended by faculty and have participated in ongoing staff development workshops. Currently, over 90 students tutor across the curriculum.  With over 1,500 tutoring sessions held each year, the Peer Tutor Program has become a vital academic support service at Saint Anselm College.

Tutorials
Once a student requests a tutor for a particular course, the Peer Tutor Coordinator assigns the student to a peer tutor who is available to give assistance at a mutually convenient time. The student and tutor may meet occasionally or frequently during the semester, depending on the student's need. Most tutorials are approximately one hour in duration. Students and tutors usually work in the ARC, but they may also work in other suitable locations.

Requests for Tutors
Applications for tutoring assistance are available online. A student receives a response either by e-mail or PO Box within a few days. The student then contacts the assigned tutor and arranges for a tutorial.

Tutoring is Available for:
Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Computer Science, Economics and Business, English, History, Humanities, Modern Languages, Nursing, Philosophy, Physics, Politics, Psychology, Sociology, and Theology.
