AOP Tutorial Services

prospective students

If you need extra help in a course and prefer one-on-one tutoring or small group tutoring, our office provides students with academically successful tutors who are available to provide tutoring for you. 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.

Current AOP students

If you are interested in obtaining a tutor, pleasefill out the Tutor Request form below,  visit our office located at in Blake C - 104 or contact Mr. Thomas Chew, aoptutoring@geneseo.edu. 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!

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.
