What is Peer Tutoring at SARC?

Peer tutoring is an academic support program utilizing peer-assisted study sessions to help students with historically difficult courses. Peer tutoring is free for undergraduate UCF students enrolled in STEM, Spanish, or business courses. During peer tutoring sessions, students work together with other classmates to compare notes, discuss readings, ask questions, develop organizational tools, engage with the material, and prepare for examinations. SARC tutorial services are internationally certified through the College Reading and Learning Association. SARC provides tutoring at TCH 117 and CECS.

Peer Tutor Responsibilities:

• Lead a minimum of 7 hours of tutorial time per week for a specific course including 4 hours of group tutoring and 2 hours of one-on-one tutoring.
• Communicate with course professors to discuss material being covered in tutoring, inform them of SARC services, and promote SARC peer tutoring.
• Attend and participate in monthly peer tutor training sessions and other meetings as requested.
• Create study handouts for students, present test reviews, and participate in SARC events.
• Complete CRLA Portfolio and provide supplements to any previous submissions based on the department’s certification level.
• Other duties as assigned.

Please note that during Spring 2024, all peer tutors are expected to host tutoring sessions in person. Tutors may be given the option to host one weekly online session from home. Please contact Katie Adams at katie.adams@ucf.edu if you have questions.
