Content Tutoring

Content tutoring is peer assistance in a specific course you're enrolled in at K-State. Our peer tutors have taken the course (or equievent) and are prepared to help you understand the content of the course better. We provide content tutoring in two ways -- drop-in and appointment.

Drop-In: On-demand help in our popular courses and located across campus.

Appointment: Scheduled 50-minute small-group sessions for many different courses.

Our tutors will ask you questions to get you to the answer

Bring your course material: syllabus, book, notes, etc.

Appointments are also available virtually

Drop-In Information

Drop-in tutoring is a free, on-demand tutoring service to help you in our most popular courses. With drop-in, there is no need to schedule in advance, and sessions are hosted in different locations across campus. You’re welcome to come in with a lot of questions or only one. An average drop-in session is around 45-minutes, but you’re welcome to leave early or stay longer—it’s really about what you need.

How to Schedule an Appointment

What to Expect

Tutoring through the Academic Achievement Center focuses on the learning process to reach your goals. It's about more than just getting the answers. Our tutors are students that have succeeded in the courses you’re taking and are specifically trained to help you understand and learn difficult content. Our tutors are here to help you at every level.

Preparing for a Tutoring Session

Being able to identify where you’re struggling or what you don’t understand will help the session be productive right from the start.
Tutors can’t directly help you with homework, quiz, or test problems so come prepared with example problems or concepts to cover.
Bring any supplies that will assist your tutor in helping you. This should include textbooks, notes, syllabi, etc..

What to Expect in a Tutoring Session

Tutoring sessions with the AAC are done in groups (1 to 2 in an appointment, up to 4 by request, and up to 7 in drop-in). Your tutor is there to help you and to also help you learn from each other.
Your tutor will help you set a goal for the session to achieve in the 50-minute session.
Your tutor will assess where you need assistance and in the style you need it. Our goal is to help you learn in whatever style works best for you.
Your tutor is going to be asking you a lot of questions to get your mind working and connecting the dots.

Policies to Know About

Appointments must be made at least 24-hours in advance.
Canceling an appointment within 8-hours of your scheduled appointment time counts as a "no-show".
Three "no-shows" results in a suspension of scheduling permission until you meet with a graduate assistant to regain scheduling permission. Drop-in sessions are always available.
Tutoring is provided only to students enrolled at K-State for the course they are seeking tutoring. Tutoring is also provided for courses a student finishing an "Incomplete" they received in the previous semester at K-State.
Tutors are not permitted to work through your exact homework problems.

Tutoring Services start the second week of courses, ends the last Friday of courses, and is closed during all university holidays and breaks.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us by visiting us in 258 Hale Library, emailing us at tutors@ksu.edu, or calling us at 785-532-5703.
