One-on-One Peer Tutoring

University of Maryland Global Campus offers effective, comprehensive professional one-on-one tutoring for a wide array of courses. We also offer the relatable, personalized guidance of peer tutoring for select courses. Our peer tutors are knowledgeable in their subject areas and must have passed the courses that they support before they apply for tutoring positions and are vetted by UMGC for their suitability as subject tutors. As a result, you get academic assistance from a fellow student who understands the subject matter of your course.

If you're interested in becoming a peer tutor, you can browse our open positions.
