Tutoring

The Library and Academic Resource Center offers free tutoring to students who need help with classes or programs.

• Tutors help students prepare for tests, improve study techniques, review course materials, and answer questions about assignments. Tutors will not do work for students, nor do they replace instructors. They will show techniques for keeping pace with assignments and help in understanding your course material.
• Students usually request tutoring on their own, but faculty may also refer a student for tutoring.

Both peer and staff tutors are available at Minnesota West.  

• Peer tutors are fellow students who display a willingness to assist others and who know the course content and the instructor's expectations.
• Staff tutors provide technical tutoring and assistance with general study techniques.

Fundamental skills such as time management, note taking, and test preparation techniques are necessary for college success.

• Take a class in study skills or use the online study skills helps to enhance your study skills and work toward better grades.

For more information or to request a tutor, contact your campus tutoring staff.
