Students may expect the following from their experience with Study Partners:

• Confidentiality, Patience, and Respect;

• Knowledge about the subject area being tutored;

• A concentrated effort to aid in understanding difficult material;

Academic Support is committed to serving all Auburn University students, and peer tutoring is designed to be a safe learning environment where all students are welcome, appreciated, and supported by their peers. In tutoring sessions, you can expect that the presence of any physical, verbal, graphic, written, or electronic representations of language, images, or behavior that create a hostile or intimidating environment will not be accepted. Additionally, insults related to ability, appearance, culture, gender, home language, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or social class will not be tolerated.

Study Partners peer tutoring sessions for the Summer 2026 semester are offered both in person and online (based on tutor availability) from May 18 – July 31. Students who are enrolled in a supported course at Auburn University can submit requests for free, one-on-one appointments exclusively through the Knack online platform/mobile app during the summer for a day and time mutually decided upon by the student and the Peer Tutor. Students are able to participate in one session per day per course, as long as a tutor is available.
