Peer Tutoring & Writing Consultation
The Academic Resource Center provides free, collaborative peer-to-peer learning services for all Wartburg students in Library 204.
Peer tutors offer subject-specific tutoring to assist students in understanding course concepts, homework assignments, and preparing for exams.
Writing consultants are also available to provide guidance in all stages of the writing process including brainstorming, research, content development, organization, formatting, and citations.
Peer Tutors and Writing Consultants aim to provide support that encourages students to become self-motivated, independent learners over time.
Peer Learning Lab Hours:
Sunday: 6-9 p.m.
Monday-Thursday: 9 a.m.-9 p.m.
Friday: 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturday: Closed
Walk-ins are welcome; however, to ensure that a peer will be available to assist with your specific subject matter, we recommend booking in advance.
