Specialized Tutor Program
Each year we hire and train UVic graduate students as Tutors. We focus primarily on high-demand subject areas, and first and second year courses, but you can always ask us if we happen to have a tutor for your course!
Want some extra help in that super-tough course? Set yourself up for success with regular, one-on-one sessions with a Learning Assistance Program Tutor!
The Specialized Tutor Program connects you with trained tutors from departments across campus. Investigate new strategies designed to help you:
- Understand and learn course content
- Draw on your individual learning strengths
- Learn about your department standards and expectations for exams and assignments
How it works:
- Accessing an LAP Tutor is a convenient way to find qualified, course-specific tutoring.
- Our Tutors are typically graduate students, hired and trained by the Learning Assistance Program.
- You and your LAP Tutor will meet for regularly scheduled appointments throughout the term. Additional support is available through Learning Assistance Program Coordinators as needed.
- Email learning@uvic.ca for more information.
