The Tutor Program provides small group tutoring for UMaine students who need academic assistance in 100 & 200 level, non-web based courses. A staff of peer tutors is hired to work with small groups of students who meet two times a week throughout the semester. Tutoring sessions are held Monday through Friday during the day or evening and are conducted in a classroom setting. Tutor groups consist of students who are in the same course and have the same instructor. By working together, students learn how to process course material as well as sharpen reasoning and questioning skills. Sessions are process-oriented, learner-centered, and require the active involvement of each student.
