School of Biological Sciences Peer Tutoring Program

SBS Peer Tutoring Program matches students needing assistance in a biology major's course with another 
student who has done well in the course previously and has expressed in interest in tutoring. A student 
does not have to be a biology major to participate as a student or a tutor.  

Tutors
Students who have taken the course previously at UMKC and have earned a grade of A are invited to add 
their names to the tutoring list for that course.  Peer tutors are required to keep simple records 
recording the date, time, course, and student being tutored.

Students
Students interested in receiving tutoring can access a list of tutors from this web site.  The student 
may then contact a tutor from the list.The meeting time, place and fee charged, if any, are left up to 
the student and the tutor to arrange. 

Courses
Eligible courses are biology courses and chemistry, physics and math courses required for the biology 
major.These include: Biology and Living, General Biology I and II, Cell Biology, Genetics, Basic 
Biochemistry, Human Biochemistry I and II, Human Physiology, Human Anatomy/Functional Anatomy, other 
upper level Biology majors courses, General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry, Physics 210, 220,
