The Tutor Program
The Tutor Program provides small group tutoring for University of Maine students who need academic assistance in select 100 and 200 level courses. The Tutor Program’s role is to help students “learn how-to-learn” course material and how to utilize the resources available on campus. A staff of peer tutors facilitates learning by encouraging students to work together to process course material as well as sharpen reasoning and questioning skills.
Students work with peer tutors in small study groups of up to 6 students, who are in the same course and have the same professor. Groups meet twice weekly, for a maximum of 2 hours per week, throughout the semester. Tutoring sessions are held Monday-Friday, during the day or evening and are conducted in a classroom on campus. Tutor groups are assigned after Add/Drop week and continue through the 8th week of the semester as funding allows.
Course material is not “re-taught” to students in the traditional sense. Instead, tutors use the course content to help students to develop effective metacognitive learning strategies necessary for college level learning. Tutors facilitate activities that require students to work with concepts in diverse ways. As a result, students develop a better understanding of the course material and stronger critical thinking skills.
Students in the courses tutored are sent an email to their maine.edu email which includes a Google request form. This form asks for a schedule of classes/work/meetings that could conflict with tutoring. From that schedule, we put students into groups beginning the second week of classes until the eighth week of the semester.
Interested in becoming a peer tutor? To fill out an application go to the Tutor Program website or fill out the online application in Career Link. Eligibility requirements can be found on the Tutor Program website.

Study Center
The UMM Study Center is located on the second floor of Torrey Hall, Room 225. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. It is available for individual and group study with conversation welcome.
The area is separated in three sections: There is a comfortable area for relaxed discussion with a couch, 2 chairs, a TV with a VCR and DVD player. A whiteboard is also available in this area for your use. In the middle of the study center we have a round table with a movable whiteboard to accommodate round table discussions. This is always nice when students want to share information in a group setting. Also in the study center are two different areas where there are rectangular tables that seat 6 each. Both areas have whiteboards and in one area there is an acoustic wall divider to make the area a little more private. All areas have comfortable seating with the opportunity for small and large group meetings.
The Study Center is also home base for the UMM Student Tutor Program. There is no fee for tutor services, and tutoring is a paid position under both Federal Work Study as well as through Departmental funds. If you are interested in becoming a Student Tutor, please contact the Study Center Office. The phone number is 255-1232. The Study Center office is located in room 225B (behind the study center). Stop by and pick up an application and join our team! We would love to put you to work earning not only a little cash, but also an opportunity to learn many transferrable skills that can follow you throughout your future career.
