Embedded Tutoring

Embedded tutoring is appointment-style tutoring where the tutor attends and participates in some or all the sessions of the course(s) they are an embedded tutor. By being in the classroom, students get to know their tutor in a neutral environment before attending tutoring. Tutors are also better able to help students because they are more keenly aware of what has happened in the course prior to the tutoring session. Student still sign-up for tutoring like it is an appointment but their introduction and knowledge of their tutor is different than for non-embedded tutoring courses.

This past fall, we saw that students who participated in our embedded tutoring program did better on every test and had a higher final grade than those who did not.

BIOL-198: Principles of Biology (All Sections) [PILOT]

The Academic Achievement Center Tutoring Services is excited to pilot embedded tutoring during the Fall 2021 semester. This pilot is apart of “Improving DFW Rates: Taking an Equity-Minded Approach,” which is a partnership between Office of Student Success, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Academic Achievement Center, and the Division of Biology funded through a K-State Strategic Invest Fund.

Based on the results of the pilot, we hope to expand this service to other courses.
