academic tutoring for freshman

<p>Does anyone know if W&M have some peer or upper classmen tutoring program (I don't mean remedial progra) where a student can get help in homework or topics taught in class? Some school provide that service, especially to freshmen.</p>

<p>some subjects have tutoring offered by students in upper level courses or the honor society for that discipline. Some organizations offer peer tutoring.</p>

<p>you can make study groups.</p>

<p>the professors will be happy to help you / talk things over with you during office hours.</p>

<p>I know the athletic department pays some students to tutor, but that is only available to athletes.</p>

<p>I never really looked for a program like this… so maybe someone else will know more…</p>

<p>I know that the Econ department has a list of students who are willing and available to tutor students in certain subjects, though I haven’t heard of similar things elsewhere. It might be on a department-by-department basis.</p>

<p>It’s not directly related to your question, but W & M has a Writing Resource Center which my d found to be of great assistance in writing a major paper for her history class last semester. A good grade on a paper can make a big difference in your overall grade, obviously. The consultant really helped her clarify her ideas and thesis, and my d wound up with an excellent grade on a paper that counted for 25 percent of the coursework.

<p>Students probably can’t get an appointment at the last minute, according to my d, so plan in advance.</p>
