Tutoring

Spring tutoring has started! Peer tutoring is available to Drake students at no charge. Tutoring is most beneficial for students who are actively participating in classes. Tutoring is not intended to be a substitute for consistent class attendance. The availability of in-person and virtual tutoring will vary by subject and can be confirmed in Starfish when you schedule your appointment.
