Peer Tutoring

We want to provide support to all students of the NWP community and target multiple subject matters. Therefore, we hire students, Peer Tutors, who have achieved a minimum of 75% in a course they wish to tutor.  

If you are struggling in a particular subject, please reach out to Amanda Wills - Librarian at awills@nwpolytech.ca.

Note: Due to the change in need every academic year/semester, it is our goal to do everything possible to have the necessary support in the given subject area.

Becoming a Peer Tutor 

If you are a returning student and are interested in helping others, this is the job for you. The following are requirements for our peer tutors: 

• Must be a student of NWP during the academic year when they wish to tutor.
• Faculty recommendation.
• Successful completion of a course with at least 75% unless otherwise specified directly from an instructor.
• Completed and signed application form.
• Proof of course marks (an unofficial transcript from myNWP is sufficient evidence).
• An interview process and tutor training with the Student Learning and Engagement Librarian.

For more information, email Amanda Wills - Librarian at awills@nwpolytech.ca. Please keep in mind that our services and demands change depending on student needs and the student population.
