These tutors have taken the course in which they tutor, achieved at least a B+ or better in the course, and possess a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.0. Students interested in seeking a tutor be mature, responsible stewarts of this support service and must recognize that these services are being offered at a cost to the AOP department.

If you are interested in obtaining a tutor, please visit our office located at in Blake C - 104 or contact Mr. Thomas Chew, aoptutoring@geneseo.edu or fill out the Tutor Request form below. Please keep in mind that tutoring sessions cannot replace your own studying time.  If you have not done so already, all students hoping to work with a tutor this semester must print and sign a tutoring contract, found below. Tutorial sessions are designed to enhance and reinforce all the hard work that you are doing on your own!

Tutor Requests

AOP Tutoring - Student Contract

Tutor requests can be sent in at any point in the semester. We will do our best to accomodate everyone.

Once you begin working with a tutor you are asked to fill out weekly reports. This helps the department keep tabs on your progress and the progress of our tutors. We are dedicated to providing a happy, healthy, and progressive learning experience for both you and the peer tutors. Your feedback is instrumental in this process. The weekly report form is located below.

Weekly report for AOP Students
