Peer tutoring

Academic peer tutoring
Academic peer tutoring is available at no cost to Saint Martin's students in many subjects including accounting, biology, business, chemistry, computer science, economics, physics, math and world languages. The Saint Martin's Learning Center runs a nationally certified peer tutoring program. All tutors are recommended by faculty in their field of study.

Availability of tutoring
Tutoring services are available Monday-Friday on a drop-in basis for math, accounting, business, world languages and science; by appointment for other subjects. Evening hours are also available for math and physics on a drop-in basis. An updated tutoring schedule is always posted at the center in O'Grady Library, lower level. See Finding a tutor below for links to individual tutor schedules. If you need help with academic writing, you may make an appointment with a peer reader in the Writing Center.
