Small Group Tutoring

Weekly Tutoring Groups
These group tutoring sessions help students work together throughout the semester, meeting once per week for 50 minutes (in-person or online) with the same small group of classmates and the same tutor.

Occasional Sessions
Offered primarily online, occasional sessions are one-time small group tutoring sessions with students who are in the same class. These are a great option for students who may not want something on a weekly basis, but would like to meet in a tutoring group as-needed throughout the semester. Occasional sessions do not repeat weekly.

Subjects Offered
Group tutoring is offered in subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Math, Physics, Engineering, Nursing, Business Analytics, Finance, Accounting, and Economics.

Policies:

  • Attendance is recorded by swiping in/out of each session. Students who accumulate more than two unexcused absences are subject to the loss of appointment-making privileges for the rest of the semester.
  • Students may cancel their own sessions up to 4 hours in advance through their main page on TracCloud (TracCloud guide). If needed, students can contact the AEC receptionists and tutoring administrative staff at 401-874-2367 or aec@etal.uri.edu.
  • Any tutoring session that is canceled within 4 hours of the appointment start time will be marked as a missed session (unexcused absence).
  • Students are able to sign up for up to 2 weekly tutoring groups and 2 occasional sessions per course per week.
  • Students must arrive to sessions on time. Tutors will only wait for 15 minutes from the start of the appointment time. If 15 minutes has passed and the student has not arrived, it will count as a miss.
  • All students in the group should be taking the same course with the same instructor.
  • No graded exams or quizzes may be worked on during group times.
  • Students are required to complete the Learning Agreements Form prior to their first tutoring session.
  • NCAA student-athletes who will miss a group meeting due to competition travel should bring a travel letter to the tutor the week before they will be missing a session.
  • Students are expected to attend class lectures regularly and bring any helpful course materials and/or content questions with them to tutoring.
