What is Embedded Tutoring?                  

          

The Embedded Tutoring program focuses on using embedded tutors to provide more individualized attention and assistance during class activities, and to motivate students’ participation and engagement in a classroom setting.  

Embedded tutoring is a form of Supplemental Instruction (SI), based on the model developed at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. 

In embedded tutoring, a tutor works in the classroom under the instructor’s guidance to help students understand course concepts and enhance student engagement. The tutor may attend all, or only certain class meeting days each week. 

In the classroom, the tutor functions as:              





  • support to students as they work with the class content and texts




  • a mentor, helping students foster connections with support services




  • a model student, demonstrating effective student behaviors and successful academic habits
 



What are the benefits of an Embedded Tutor?                           


  • The Embedded Tutor works closely with students
    to help them better understand and meet their Instructor’s expectations and
    assignments             




  • Th​e Embedded Tutor has the opportunity to get
    to know students and becomes a source of comfort for peer assistance both in
    and out of the classroom




  • The Embedded Tutor can voice concerns and ideas
    to the instructor based on classroom observations and student feedback




  • The Embedded Tutor serves as a representative helping students sign-up for Tutoring and
    sharing information regarding additional support     services
