Tutoring Student to Student

The Tutoring Student to Student Certificate is a collaboration between the Student Leadership Institute and the University Learning Center. This certificate provides students who are tutors at CSUF with instruction and practice in the process of student to student tutoring. Workshops are provided on-line where students meet via on-line discussions, write and submit via email reflections on their own tutoring practices, and read essays by academic experts whose ideas they can apply in their own tutoring experiences.

Students completing the track will receive a certificate of completion and will be recognized at the SLI Annual Recognition Ceremony.

OBJECTIVE

	To provide an understanding of how learning happens and the best ways to make it happen.
	To help new and novice student tutors become excellent student tutors.

BENEFIT

	To understand educational theory about one-on-one instruction.
	To become more conscious, intentional tutors.
	To improve the ability to look critically at and strengthen students' own understanding of subjects they tutor.
