4. Peer Tutoring
The Peer Tutoring Program is designed to provide one-on-one assistance and small group support to students. Tutoring is conducted in a constructive atmosphere of learning using a variety of tutoring techniques tailored to your individual learning style.
Online tutoring is a real-time interaction between the tutor and the student, so the responses are immediate, and the tutor and student view content at the same time. This allows the student one-on-one time with a tutor via the Internet.
The goals of tutoring are to inspire you to become a confident, independent learner prepared to meet academic and personal challenges. Tutoring is free and is provided in a number of academic areas such as:
- Math
- English
- Biology
- Business
- Chemistry
- Geology
- Government
- Reading
- Physics
- Psychology
- History
- Nursing
- Sciences
- High School Equivalency Program (GED, HiSET, and TASC)
- Preparation -- HESI Exam
- Placement Testing
The Peer Tutoring Program strives to create a win-win environment for Del Mar College students. The benefits of being a Tutor often go beyond those of a typical part-time job and include strengthening communication and problem-solving skills, enhanced learning skills, and creating a sense of accomplishment that comes from helping others. To become a Peer Tutor, a student must have an overall GPA of 3.0 to 4.0, must be currently enrolled, and have earned a grade of an "A" or a "B" in the subject area. Peer Tutors are certified through the College Reading and Learning Association Certification Program. For more information about tutoring or becoming a Peer Tutor, call (361) 698-2267.
