Academic Support is committed to serving all Auburn University students, and peer tutoring is designed to be a safe learning environment where all students are welcome, appreciated, and supported by their peers. In tutoring sessions, you can expect that the presence of any physical, verbal, graphic, written, or electronic representations of language, images, or behavior that create a hostile or intimidating environment will not be accepted. Additionally, insults related to ability, appearance, culture, gender, home language, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or social class will not be tolerated.

Study Partners peer tutoring sessions for the Fall 2025 semester are offered both in person and online from September 2 – December 4. Students who are enrolled in a supported course at Auburn University can schedule free, one-on-one appointments through Advise Assist (Mondays – Thursdays, 9:00am – 5:00pm, select “Study Partners Peer Tutoring” for your appointment) or through the Knack online platform/mobile app at a day and time mutually decided upon by the student and the Peer Tutor.

Student Testiomonials

[My Peer Tutor] was so awesome! She is so knowledgeable on the subject and now I have a much better idea about the information for the chapter I am studying. She is so great at explaining information!

[The Peer Tutor] was very helpful and he made me feel more prepared for my exam. He helped me learn at my own pace and took the time to explain the material in depth.

I came in with very little understanding of the concepts and [the Peer Tutor] made them easy to understand and apply!

[My Peer Tutor] was so helpful! She asked me questions about how I learned best and gave me study advice based off of my answers. She told me about the resources and habits that helped her be successful in this course.
