What is Peer Tutoring at SARC?

Peer tutoring is an academic support program utilizing peer-assisted study sessions to help students with historically difficult courses. Peer tutoring is free for undergraduate UCF students enrolled in STEM, Spanish, or business courses. During peer tutoring sessions, students work together with other classmates to compare notes, discuss readings, ask questions, develop organizational tools, engage with the material, and prepare for examinations. SARC tutorial services are internationally certified through the College Reading and Learning Association. SARC provides tutoring at TCH 117 and CECS.

Peer Tutor Responsibilities:

• Lead a minimum of 7 hours of tutorial time per week for a specific course including 4 hours of group tutoring and 2 hours of one-on-one tutoring.
• Attend and participate in all trainings and meetings.
• Complete CRLA Portfolio and provide supplements to any previous submissions based on the department’s certification level.
• Prepare materials for sessions and reviews
• Communicate with course instructors.
• Implement feedback from program leadership
• Other duties as assigned.

Please note that during Summer 2026, all peer tutors are expected to host tutoring sessions in person. Each tutor will also host a minimum of one online or hybrid session per week. Please contact the Tutor Coordinator at katie.adams@ucf.edu if you have questions.
