Alumni tutors understand Saint Francis University's academic culture, course expectations, and institutional values firsthand. They can share insights about how to succeed in specific programs, navigate university resources, and approach coursework the way the institution expects.

Your first session is a chance for you and your tutor to get to know each other and establish goals.

Together, you'll create a personalized plan for how to approach the subject, ensuring the tutoring is tailored to your needs from day one.
