MTSU Free Tutoring


Free tutoring is available to help you understand course material, strengthen your study strategies, and build confidence in your academic work.

MTSU’s trained peer tutors provide support for more than 200 courses across a variety of subjects. Tutoring can help you:

  • Improve understanding of difficult course material
  • Strengthen study and learning strategies
  • Improve test performance and grades
  • Support GPA improvement
  • Increase persistence and retention
  • Build confidence as an independent learner

Whether you’re preparing for an exam, working through a difficult concept, or looking for additional practice, tutoring is a resource you can use throughout the semester—not just when you’re struggling.
