Tutoring

Tutoring is a one-on-one collaboration between OLLI tutors and students.  Tutors work with a student for one or two sessions a week and spend Tutoring2 to 4 hours per session. 

  • EDUCATION: A student attempting to pass a standard test required for entry into the graduate program had failed the test six times.  She worked with an OLLI tutor and passed on her next try.
  • NATURAL SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS:  A chemistry student was struggling.  She received some tutoring and raised her grade to a “B.”
  • NURSING:  A nursing student was fearful that she was going to fail her class.  After working with an OLLI tutor she raised her grade to an “A.”   Nursing students rated all seven OLLI tutors with the highest score attainable.
