| Peer Tutorial Program |
 |
| The Gonzaga University Athletics Peer Tutorial Program provides student-athletes with one-on-one weekly, educational support in order to succeed in their coursework and achieve personal academic goals. The ultimate goal of the program is to foster academic independence, self-sufficiency, and confidence within the student-athletes it serves, which is achieved with help from tutors who employ active learning practices and motivation strategies while facilitating learner independence. |

Active Learning

Independence
Student-athletes can request a tutor through their athletic academic advisor for any course at any point during the semester. We employ Gonzaga undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated mastery in the coursework with recommendation from faculty as well as overall academic success, ability to teach and listen, professionalism, and amicability. Our tutors go through monthly training throughout their first year in order to enhance their tutoring skills. Tutors must adhere to all rules and expectations set forth by the Athletic Department, Gonzaga University, and the NCAA. Our peer tutors go through monthly trainings to further skills around approaches to teaching material, communication, cultural awareness, study strategies and more. They are then assessed on their comprehension and application of this material in order to monitor knowledge and retention of the information being delivered. This ensures we are providing the best academic tutorial services we can through the training of our peer tutors and operations of our program. For more information, please contact Colette Yamaoka, Academic Coordinator, at yamaoka@gonzaga.edu. Additional tutoring services are provided on campus to all Gonzaga students through The Learning Studio in the Foley Library, as well as departmental specific tutoring. |
