Types of Tutors
The QRS is staffed by two kinds of drop-in peer tutors:
- General tutors who can help with coursework in particular disciplines (e.g., economics), as well as with general math review–whether for a specific course, or for work in the ALEKS modules.
- Course-specific tutors who are sitting in on a specific course and hold dedicated hours for students in that course.
