Advisees needing help with current courses?
Peer-to-peer learning opportunities can help.

As we near spring break and mid-terms, you may hear from students who are struggling in their courses. Barnard has two free peer-to-peer tutoring programs for students to choose from depending on their needs. Here’s how to advise students about their options:

• Larger group-based: Barnard’s FREE group-based help sessions are held on a regular weekly schedule - allowing for students to drop-in when they need assistance - and are grouped by subject.  Details can be found here: https://barnard.edu/dos/academic-support/peer-to-peer/group.
• Individual/smaller group-based: For students who need more assistance than can be provided in group-based tutoring, Barnard provides FREE small group/one-on-one tutoring through the Dean of Studies Office. This tutoring service pairs students with a specific peer tutor for the semester, and sessions are either one-on-one or small groups of two to three students. More information can be found here: https://barnard.edu/dos/academic-support/peer-to-peer/individual.

If you have questions, contact the Dean of Studies office at 4-2024.
