Interested in becoming a tutor?

Students who serve as peer tutors must have a 3.0 or higher GPA, must have earned a grade of A or B in the course, and must have a recommendation from a faculty member teaching the discipline. First priority is given to students who are qualified for Federal Work Study. Students who meet the qualifications should contact SASS for additional information and an application.

Tutoring & Study Help

Student Academic Support Services regularly employs peer tutors to help USF students in specific courses. An effort is made to offer tutoring in general education courses in which students historically struggle.
