Free tutoring—individualized and small groups—is available to
all Mount undergraduates in most major subject areas.
The Center for Student Success can provide tutoring through
appointment tutoring, the Writing Center, the Division of Natural
Sciences, and supplemental instruction.
Evidence shows that tutoring contributes significantly to
students’ academic performance. Over 97% of student users report
that tutoring helped them better learn their material, and surveys
of student satisfaction indicate that the Mount’s tutoring services
outperform tutoring programs at other four-year colleges across the
nation.
Mount tutors are typically undergraduate peer tutors. They have
been highly recommended by college faculty on the basis of their
knowledge, communication skills and interpersonal
abilities. Tutors are evaluated each semester by student users
and the administrative staff.
Academically superior students may find on campus-employment
opportunities as peer tutors. Mount tutors can
earn competitive wages and develop marketable skills and
competencies.
Many Mount tutors are Dean’s List students, have been recognized
by “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities,” and hold
membership in the College’s honor societies.
