Free Tutoring

The Aylward-Dunn Learning Center offers one-on-one peer tutoring for over 50 courses each semester. If we don’t currently have a tutor for your class, we will try to find one for you! Our tutors can help with homework, concept mastery, study skills, exam preparation, language practice, or simply answer any questions you have about your courses and raising your GPA. All our tutors are Rockhurst students who know what it takes to succeed at RU and are ready to help you reach your academic goals.

Fall 2020 Online Tutoring 

During the Fall 2020 semester, all tutoring will take place online. To schedule an online tutoring session, please consult WC Online Guide for Students. Online tutoring sessions will be conducted through our scheduling software, WCOnline. This program is how you normally schedule tutoring sessions and does not require you to download any special software in advance to your session.  Here is some general information about online tutoring: 

  • You should have a webcam and a microphone.  Most computers that have webcams also have built-in microphones. 
  • You do not need to download any special software or programs before your appointment.
  • We recommend that you use headphones during your appointment because it will make it easier to communicate with your tutor.
  • You should have a reliable internet connection.  Since the appointment will be conducted online, it is important to have a strong internet connection.

  • To start an online session (assuming you have scheduled a session), you will log into WCOnline and navigate to that appointment. Once you have opened that appointment, you will be able to follow the instructions on how to join the online session.  

If you have any questions about online tutoring, feel free to call the Learning Center at 816-501-4052 or email us at learningcenter@rockhurst.edu.
