Free tutoring—individualized and small groups—is available to
all Mount undergraduates in most major subject areas.
The Office of Outcomes Assessment and Developmental Instruction
can provide tutoring through the following venues:
- appointment tutoring
- the Writing Center
- the Division of Natural Sciences
- supplemental instruction
Evidence shows that tutoring contributes significantly to
students’ academic performance. In 2008-2009, 97% of student users
said tutoring helped them better learn their material, and surveys
of student satisfaction indicate that the Mount’s tutoring services
outperform tutoring programs at other four-year colleges across the
nation.
Mount tutors are typically undergraduate peer tutors. They have
been highly recommended by college faculty on the basis of their
knowledge, communication skills and interpersonal abilities. Tutors
are evaluated each semester by student users and the administrative
staff.
Academically superior students may find on campus-employment
opportunities as peer tutors. Mount tutors can earn competitive
wages and develop marketable skills and competencies.
Many Mount tutors are Dean’s List students, have been recognized
by “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities,” and hold
membership in the college’s honor societies.
