Peer tutoring
Through the Quantitative Reasoning Center (QRC), Earlham offers tutoring and academic coaching to all students at no cost. Our goal is to help you become a better learner through engagement with our services.
Group tutoring is available on a drop-in basis for high-demand classes. Group tutoring sessions, led by trained peer tutors, occur in the Center for Science and Technology on a weekly basis.
For classes not covered by group tutoring, one-on-one tutoring may be an option. Experienced students are available to provide individual help on a more flexible schedule.

Group tutoring sessions
The QRC provides group tutoring sessions for the math and science courses most commonly taken by first-year students. Students enrolled in courses with group tutoring sessions are notified about such tutoring by the QRC and their professors.
These sessions are held at the Center for Science and Technology (CST). The tutors are trained undergraduate students who have demonstrated mastery in the subject they tutor. Tutors are available from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday to Thursday. The schedule for each subject is posted online, at CST and in applicable syllabi.
One-on-one tutoring
Students may request one-on-one tutors for courses not supported by group tutoring sessions or the Writing Center. Students may request tutoring for up to two hours per course each week. The student and tutor determine the tutoring schedule.
Students seeking a one-on-one tutor should submit a request using our request tutoring form. The QRC staff will match students to a tutor, help schedule tutoring sessions, and keep professors informed.
Study skills enhancement
Students can find help improving their study skills through the QRC as well. If you’re struggling to find time to make school work a priority or aren’t sure how to take notes and study for exams, consider requesting study skills support. The QRC will work with you to help you get on track (and stay that way moving forward).
