Peer Tutors

Each semester, the AAC employs 15-20 Lasell students as Peer Tutors. Every peer tutor is recommended by faculty, trained by AAC staff, and specializes in specific subject areas. Our program has earned International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC) from the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).
