The Jefferson College Peer Tutoring Program’s mission is to provide students with the academic support, resources, study skills and peer collaboration to assist students to be successful in their courses.

The Peer Tutoring program provides one on one tutoring with a fellow student who has already been successful in the class.

For students wanting to request a peer tutor, the program provides one hour of FREE tutoring each week per class.  Students with documented disabilities or students in Project Success may request additional tutoring hours.

Request a tutor by submitting an online request form.
