Tutoring
Sign-up for tutoring through Navigate.
Worried? Struggling or stressed? The Tutoring Center offers free tutoring for current Kirtland students.
Tutoring can help you acquire the skills and strategies necessary to become a strong, confident, and independent learner. Our peer tutors are successful Kirtland students. Kirtland also provides professional tutors for certain courses. Tutoring students meet for one-on-one tutoring or small group sessions, and tutoring is by appointment.
It is our goal to find every student a tutor. Please note that this is not always possible.
Both students who want tutoring assistance and prospective tutors are required to fill out separate applications.
Request a Tutor
Tutoring is intended to supplement and support the in-class instruction students receive from their course instructors. If you feel that your grade is at-risk, reach out to your course instructor for support. If you need additional help:
- Fill out the online application by clicking on the Request a Tutor button below OR if you’re logged into your Canvas course, you can click on the “Request Tutoring” link on the left side of your course.
- Tutoring Center staff will review your request and contact you via your Kirtland email.
The Tutoring Center will attempt to secure a tutor for your course, however, tutor assistance is not guaranteed.
Below are some examples of things tutors do and don’t help with in the context of a tutoring session. Topics in the ‘Tutors Don’t’ column are better addressed by your course instructor or other college resources.
Tutors Do:
- Review material you have learned in class.
- Provide feedback, to help identify areas for improvement.
- Help you solve similar type problems and practice strategies that you can apply to your own work.
Tutors Don’t:
- Direct how to complete an assignment or project.
- Provide input on anything to be submitted for grades
- Assist with content that is not related to a course a student is taking.
