Peer tutoring is available to all cadets – both those who are excelling and those who are struggling. Whether you are striving to maintain an A, working to improve your grade by one or two letters, and/or aiming to strengthen your overall knowledge and skills, we welcome you to peer tutoring. Tutoring is free of charge.

Visit the Penji website or download the app to schedule peer tutoring at a time that is convenient for you. You may book an individual session or establish a recurring scheduled time.

Once you have scheduled your session(s), write it down in your planner.  Complete required reading and assignments ahead of time to make the most of your session.  Having completed your work ahead of time will prepare you to come to your session with questions, problems, and topics you wish to review.  Peer tutors will never answer course assignments, but they can provide other problems for you to practice and gain understanding. Keep in mind the Work for Grade policies and each department’s requirements as stated on your syllabus.

Peer tutors are upper class cadets who have earned an A or B in the course they are tutoring and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA.  Those interested should submit the MAC Peer Tutor Application form on Etrieve under Miller Academic Center.  All peer tutors are approved by the respective department heads.  Peer tutors complete required training and meet with Academic Support Coordinator, Capt. Meghan Ferguson, as directed.  Peer tutors earn $12.80/hr, and they are paid for sessions and trainings.  Timesheets must be submitted in a timely manner and are not optional.
