Tutor Program

The Tutor Program, a unit of the University of Maine’s College Success Programs, provides tutoring for UMaine students who need academic assistance in live, lecture based 100 and 200 level courses. Small group tutoring is available at no additional cost to students.

• Peer tutors are hired to work with small groups of students two times per week throughout the semester.
• Sessions are held Monday through Friday (during the day or evening) in classrooms on campus.
• Tutor groups consist of students who are in the same course and have the same instructor.
• Students learn how to conceptualize course material, sharpen reasoning and questioning skills, and utilize available resources to become stronger, interdependent learners.
• Sessions are process-oriented, learner-centered, and require the active involvement of each student.

College Reading and Learning Association’s (CRLA) International Tutor Program Certification has certified the University of Maine’s Tutor Program through 2026. This certification recognizes that the Tutor Program plays a vital role in enhancing student learning.
