Coaching

Are your students looking for help in Math, Writing, ESL, Anatomy and Biology, Computer Skills, Presentation Skills, or Study Skills? Tell them about Coaching!

The Coaching Lab offers all Algonquin College students individual and small group coaching at no charge in these areas that are needed for most college programs.

Here are two ways to inform your students about Coaching:

Workshops

We offer a variety of workshops that your students can take advantage of—everything from Getting Started with Brightspace to Research and Citations to Exam Prep!

We offer online and in-person workshops throughout the semester at no cost. To check current offerings visit the Workshop Calendar.

Peer Tutoring

Do you have students who could use additional support with concepts covered in your course? Let them know about Peer Tutoring!

Peer Tutoring matches students who are experiencing difficulties in a course with upper-level students from your program who are trained student tutors for one-on-one tutoring. Students pay $8/hour for their tutoring sessions.

See if there is a tutor for your program:

  • Check out if we currently have a tutor. Login to Peer Tutoring Booking System to look up your programs and courses. There is no need to sign-up or create an account; sign in using your college credentials. For step-by-step instructions on how to find a tutor, please refer to the Finding a Tutor pdf.
  • You don't see your program on there? Email the SLC at slc@algonquincollege.com. We may have tutors that are about to begin tutoring for your program. If not, we will work with you to get a tutor and provide you with the information needed to share this opportunity with your students.
