Tutoring FAQ

You can find a quick reference list of courses and times a tutor is available to tutor that course by selecting 'View Tutoring Times for your course' our website. You will need to sign in using your BearID and password. Once you have done so, select your course from the drop-down window to see times and locations that free tutoring is available for walk-ins with no appointments. You can make an appointment for a free 30-minute private appointment in several high demand courses in which you are currently enrolled. To do so log in to baylor.campus.eab.com using your BearID and password and click the  "Get Tutoring" button. Remember to have your phone next to you because DUO is necessary to log in. After selecting the "Get Tutoring" button, follow the prompts to discover available classes. The first question is about the location you will choose to come to for tutoring.

More Information

Individual private tutoring appointments at our locations are up to 30 minutes in length. Walk-in tutoring can last as long as a tutor is available to help. Keep in mind that walk-in tutoring might mean that one tutor will be helping multiple students at once. If your tutor's shift time ends before you are finished working, the front desk can help you get connected with another tutor.

Please contact the Tutoring Center with any course requests or tutoring concerns. Also, some courses may not be listed but supplemental videos may be available for those courses under our Tutoring YouTube Videos or Additional Online Resources and Tips.

Bring your notes, textbook, and any other study materials you need. The more prepared you are when you come to tutoring, the more effective your tutoring session will be. Remember to bring your Baylor ID card or number because you will need it upon check-in.

We employ between 50-60 students during the Fall and Spring semesters with exceptional grades and abilities to cover a wide range of high demand courses offered at Baylor. Tutors candidates may apply who 1) have qualifying grades in the courses they wish to tutor 2) have the recommendation of three separate faculty members and 3) maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5. After an extensive interview process demonstrating their knowledge and communication skills, tutors who are selected to serve must undergo a mandatory 3-day training event to prepare them to tutor students.
