Herzing Offers Peer Tutoring for the Modern Student

To state the obvious, college is a place for 学习. The courses you’ll take are designed to build your knowledge, utilizing both real-world applications — like clinicals 和 internships — 和 classroom discussions to deepen your underst和ing. But there’s a very relevant third route to the 学习 process that doesn’t get as much attention: one-on-one peer tutoring. 

研究显示 that students learn more comprehensively 和 retain information longer when educators 和 institutions adopt a holistic approach. With the rise of online 和 hybrid 学习 和 the consistent advancement of technology, having a 同侪辅导计划 available can help facilitate a greater grasp of the material 和 allow students to build on their expertise. That’s why Herzing大学 recently partnered with 诀窍, an online platform that offers students 24/7, one-on-one tutoring 和 collaboration at no additional cost.

为什么辅导很重要?

Some students might shy away from seeking outside help in academics. They could be worried that they will be judged or that there is a stigma attached to asking for help. Other students simply may not know tutoring is an available option. As Herzing wants to help students fully eng年龄 with their course工作, 培养他们的技能, 和 prepare for a career after graduation, offering 诀窍 is a natural extension of the 大学的核心价值. Some general benefits of one-on-one peer tutoring include:

• Better underst和ing of material. 问问题, collaborating with others 和 having discussions are part of the process behind underst和ing technical or complex topics in nursing, 医疗保健, 业务, 或技术. 事实上, students who use 诀窍 are 10% more likely to pass courses. 
• Individualized attention 和 approach. There’s only so much material a professor can cover during class time. By 学习 from a student who aced the course, you can focus on the parts you need extra help on 和 ask the questions that weren’t covered in class.
• 增加了信心. No one likes to feel unprepared, or like they are not quite getting it. Learning to navigate college life, with all the other responsibilities—finances, 的关系, 工作, 日程安排, not to mention course工作—is tough enough. Having someone in your corner who helps you reach your goals 和 celebrates your successes is a boost to a student’s confidence, perhaps when it is needed most. 
• 使用伙伴制. Having someone to walk through the studying helps ease anxiety 和 stress 和 can make you more motivated to do well. 事实上, the aver年龄 student satisfaction rating for 诀窍 is 99%.
• Making connections—academically 和 personally. Many students say that 工作ing with their peers is less intimidating 和 more conducive to 学习 because a peer will have experienced similar 学习 和 social environments than a course professor might. Peer tutors can help with both the course工作 as well as with advice for time man年龄ment, study skills 和 navigating other school 和 life responsibilities.
