Who is my peer tutor? 

Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable Loyola undergraduate student tutors will assist in helping you achieve your academic goals over the summer! Our tutors are highly trained and have been working within the Tutoring Center for the past academic year.  

How do I access peer tutoring? There are 2 ways! 

1) We offer drop-in tutoring hours via Zoom for all courses listed above. Go to our online schedule, luc.edu/tutoring, and click on the “Tutoring Session Schedule” in the top right corner. Select your course’s Zoom link during the date/time of the tutoring session. That’s it!  

2) In addition, you can schedule 1-hour appointments on Navigate for the classes listed above if you wish to ensure a set block of time is spent on the course content. Your tutor will send you a Zoom link within an hour of the appointment time. Appointments can range from 1-8 students depending who signs-up and need to be made at least 12 hours in advance. If you miss more than two appointments without letting your tutor/Tutoring Center staff know in advance, tutoring privileges may be revoked.  

The Tutoring Center highly recommends students also contact their professor if there have questions. Tutors do not replace the professor but are there to serve as an additional resource.
