Peer-to-Peer Tutoring

Subjects Tutored

Tutors are able to help students in 1000 and 2000-level courses and some upper-level courses as they as demand necessitates. Services are for students enrolled in A-State Jonesboro courses only. 

All tutoring is by appointment only. Appointments must be made using the Penji app. It is suggested that appointments be made at least 24 hours in advance when possible. However, appointments can be made right up until the time of any available appointment. 

Visiting Learning Support Services

Please bring all the necessary "tools" for learning, including lecture notes, text notes, textbooks, and course syllabi. Students must also know their A-State student ID number to receive services in the center.

Students can maximize their time in tutoring by arriving prepared with specific questions. The best way to prepare for tutoring is by attempting homework questions in advance, reading textbook assignments, and reviewing lecture notes. Tutors can best assist students already engaged with course materials.

Learning Groups

Some sections of classes that are considered “high risk” offer peer or graduate assistant-led learning groups. The leader facilitates discussion and understanding of the material and how to best prepare and study for the class including improving specific study skills for that course. If you are a faculty member looking for a Learning Group Leader, please contact Kelli Listenbee, Director of Learning Support Services at 870.972.3150 or klee@astate.edu. 

Academic Success Coaches

Graduate assistant academic success coaches can help you create a study plan for a particular course, assist you with study skills or develop a time management plan that works for you. They can also help you identify specific resources in Learning Support Services that can best help you. Make an appointment here.

Study Group Space

The Learning Commons is located on the 3rd floor of the Library and it is designed for formal and informal study groups and student learning. Its location in the library allows students to have immediate access to computer labs, reference material, and library and learning assistance staff. Much of the furniture is mobile allowing for students to quickly form small groups to study or work on a project together.
