Tutoring & Study Skills

Peer Tutoring Coordinator Tim Mackin (peertutor@smcvt.edu, Klein 116, ext. 2452) and Quantitative Skills Coordinator Krisan Geary (kgeary3@smcvt.edu, JEM 255, ext 2773) help match students needing extra support with a trained peer tutor.

How do I get a tutor?
By filling out the Peer Tutor Request Form (also available outside Klein 116 and JEM 255) and setting up an appointment with the tutoring coordinator for your discipline.  For tutoring in all math courses, CS 101, CS 111, EC 205, and PS 216, bring your completed form to Krisan Geary JEM 255 or send it to kgeary3@smcvt.edu . Forms for all other courses should be brought to Tim Mackin in Klein 116 or sent to peertutor@smcvt.edu . Please note that all forms require a professor's signature.

To make an appointment, please visit our on-line scheduler at https://smcpeertutoring.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php 

In what subjects do you offer tutoring?
We have tutors in Math, Science, Economics, Computer Science, Business, Psychology, and all offered Foreign Languages, as well as Religion, Philosophy, and Time Management/Study Skills.

How long will it take until I start work with the tutor?
You will usually be matched within a day or two and can begin working together right away. You and your tutor will set a time that works for both of you.

What do I need to know about my tutor and our tutoring sessions?
You will meet your tutor in the library for about an hour, once, twice, or even three times a week if necessary. Please bring specific questions/problems, your book, all assignments, and a writing utensil. Your tutor is trained, paid, and highly qualified in the subject area you need.
