What is FSL Peer Tutoring

FSL provides Academic support to our students through weekly peer tutoring sessions. We pair our students with Peer Tutors who meet the requirements of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) at Austin Peay State University.

 

Tutor Services

Peer tutors attend CRLA training with the Learning Resource Center (LRC) and FSL training with the FSL Director and FSL Tutor Coordinator at the beginning of each semester. They are expected to submit a session report to the FSL office at the end of each tutoring session.

 

Tutor Benefits

Tutors are hired and paid at a competitive rate by the Learning Resource Center (LRC). They have flexible hours and can work sessions around their own class schedule. FSL tutors make a difference in the lives of the FSL participants while gaining a greater understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder and a greater sense of empathy for people on the Autism Spectrum. Tutors enhance their own understanding of the course material by helping other students and they can add this job experience in their resume, LinkedIn profile, and other career portfolios.

 

Tutee Benefits

FSL participants can be tutored in many courses at APSU. It is important to note that tutoring is only available for the courses that the Learning Resource Center (LRC) at APSU can support. FSL works with the LRC to provide each participant with qualified tutors. FSL students feel at ease with a peer tutor which allows them to concentrate better on tasks, which then transfer into higher achievement. Peer tutoring also helps develop personal relationships between the tutor and the student. Each student improves his or her social skill set because unlike traditional instruction, FSL peer tutoring occurs in one-on-one meeting, which requires more focused communication between tutors and students.
