Peer Tutor:
The MLC targets historically difficult courses and assigns a Peer Tutor to help all students with course material throughout the semester via tutoring hours and group review sessions. Peer Tutors are students who previously took the course and earned a grade of B or higher and have knowledge on the course material.

Peer Tutors attend class and have a working relationship with the professors they are supporting to ensure students receive help tailored to the class.
