Our Peer Tutoring Program is designed to facilitate the provision of one-on-one peer-led tutoring sessions for students who request course-specific help. We do our best to recruit tutors for specific courses but sometimes we are unable to find a match.
Nipissing University has partnered up with Nimbus Learning, a mobile learning platform provider, to ensure that we can easily provide support for as many courses as possible at Nipissing University, while making the booking, communication and scheduling process as easy as can be.
- To provide course-specific learning assistance to students by pairing them with a peer who has demonstrated competence in that particular course in the past.
- To enhance students' success by fostering understanding and application of concepts and methods as they pertain to a particular subject.
- To provide Peer Tutors the opportunity to refine their communication, instructional, and interpersonal skills through the process of being an educator.
- To supply Peer Tutors with the means to consolidate their knowledge in a particular subject area.
You have 3 hours of free peer tutoring each semester. Log in to the Nimbus app, find your course, and connect with a tutor. Your free hours are already loaded within the system. Book your session and get the support you need.
The current wage rate for a Peer Tutor is $17.60/hour after your 3 hours of free tutoring services for the semester have been used.
