Peer Tutoring

What is Peer Tutoring?

Peer tutoring is available for many courses offered at Indiana Tech and is free of charge for traditional undergraduate students.

Each peer tutoring appointment lasts for an hour and must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. You can schedule a tutoring appointment by logging on to Blackboard and scheduling an appointment using Starfish. Follow the instructions on how to access Starfish in Blackboard and schedule a peer tutoring appointment.

Students will meet with their peer tutor (upperclassmen) in the Tutoring Center. The Tutoring Center in the Office of Student Success is located on the lower level of the Snyder Academic Center and is open from 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 3:00 – 9:00 p.m. Sunday.
