    • Peer to peer support

      Peer Tutors

      Some students benefit from peer support that is 1:1 or in small groups and is around a specific learning goal, such as understanding science concepts or using specific software for their course.   

      Your tutor should be able to advise if there is a Peer Tutor available in your department to help support your learning goal.

      Now hiring...

      We are currently recruiting students (or recent graduates) who display excellence in their field of study, to become paid Peer Tutors.  If you think you fit this criteria please let your tutor know and they can send a referral to SLS.
