What is Embedded Tutoring?

  • Embedded Tutoring is an interactive, hands-on approach to academic support that meets students in real time in the classroom. As a peer-led support, Embedded Tutors are former students who have taken the class before and now are available to students in the class. These tutors will regularly attend class and provide and lead collaborative learning opportunities to pair with the main course offerings.

Is Embedded Tutoring Different than Supplemental Instruction?

  • Embedded Tutors and Supplemental Instruction are different, although both are led by students. SI meets outside of the classroom on a regular, weekly basis. Embedded Tutoring is incorporated into the course meeting time.
