Tutoring through Aspire supplements and complements courses as designed and presented by each instructor. The program brings together an individual student - or a small group of students - with a trained tutor to improve the skills essential for the course, address questions about the course content, organize a study plan, and build confidence. Tutoring is open to all students on campus, subject to the availability of tutors.


The Aspire Peer Mentoring: provides information and guidance to mentees with the intent of supporting students to be comfortable, engaged, and successful in life and college; promotes the adoption of successful behaviors, helping motivate and focus mentees when they are overwhelmed and/or struggling; and encourages mentees to develop and maintain an active relationship with Aspire through role modeling and actively connecting with Aspire professional staff, services, and activities.
