Drop-in Tutoring

2L and 3L tutors will work with 1L students to help them develop study habits, adapt their learning styles, and manage the academic side of law school that is not covered in the classroom. Depending on preference, students may choose to do one-on-one tutoring or small group tutoring. The tutoring sessions will be based on the ASP workshop topics and other skill topics, such as how to form a successful study group.

No drop-in tutoring will be available the first two weeks or last two weeks of Autumn Quarter.

Tutoring sessions will coordinate with the ASP workshops, and peer tutors will be on hand to follow up with students individually on their own work. Peer tutors can help with topics like:

• organizing your notes
• using a study group
• analyzing a case and finding the rule
• reviewing a practice exam
• outlining

Please remember that substantive questions about torts, contracts, civil procedure, and other courses are best addressed to professors, not peer tutors. Although the tutors may be able to help students pinpoint the area that they need help with, they will not be able to help students learn all the details of Section 207 of the UCC! The primary purpose of the tutors is to support 1Ls in their development of effective study skills.

To schedule an appointment with a peer tutor, please complete the following form; it will be sent to our student program coordinator, who will match you up with a peer tutor and send you an email to confirm your appointment.

Please remember that our tutors are also students with busy schedules.

Tutors will do their best to meet with you as soon as possible, but they greatly appreciate it if you can give them ample time to schedule an appointment in advance. We also appreciate it when you suggest a variety of times in which you can meet during the week. Thank you for your consideration.
