    SUMMARY

    Tutors receive three levels of training. Principle duties include tutoring KPU students to help them become more effective learners.

Peer Tutors are not expected to teach coursework. They are not expected to be substitutes for teachers and they are definitely not allowed to do the student's work or assignments. Peer tutors are current KPU students helping other students to learn.
