Peer tutors in a range of disciplines are available to clarify concepts, work on skills for various courses, and suggest useful study techniques. Tutors can help you grasp course concepts, talk through readings for better comprehension, or develop discipline specific study skills.

Meet with a peer tutor during their scheduled drop-in hours on the ground floor of the library at the tutoring nook! (Follow signs for "Peer Advising.") If you have any questions, please contact the program director, Doug Duquette (dduquette@oxy.edu).  For those who wish to participate, please review for the Peer Tutoring Program.

Hey, my name is Ethan, and I'm a junior economics and mathematics major from New Jersey (the best state).
