Tutoring FAQs

Chrome is the preferred browser, but other browsers work just fine.

Learning Support Services recommends that students sign up to meet with a tutor the moment questions arise. It’s much easier and less stressful to work with a tutor from the beginning of the semester, rather than putting off signing up and only having a couple of weeks until the semester ends to improve a grade.

You will need to log in to TutorTrac to search for classes with tutoring available. If there are no tutors available for your course, please contact tutoring@su.edu.

If no times appear, it is possible we do not offer tutoring for that course or all appointments are full. Reach out to tutoring@su.edu for more information.

If you would like to meet with a tutor weekly, we suggest making an appointment on star.su.edu. We offer 1-on-1 tutoring or small group tutoring where other students in that course can sign up for the group session until the maximum capcity is reached.

Please note that appointments must be made 24 hours in advance. Drop-in appointments are available without an appointment.

All tutoring sessions are led by Peer Tutors, current students who have taken the course at Shenandoah University. All tutors must have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher. They must also have earned a grade of an A or B in the courses they will tutor and must be recommended by a faculty member.

No, this is a free service for all currently enrolled SU students.

If you are a currently enrolled SU student, you qualify for this service.

Tutoring occurs in many campus places, including the Smith Library, HLSB, HHH, Armstrong, Gregory, Howe, and Ruebush. Be sure to check the location of your sessions on Tutor Trac or with your tutor.

*When searching the schedule please hover your cursor over any drop-in times to note the location.
