The Runway Learning Center offers free tutoring services to Newman students seeking help with their studies. Tutors for a wide variety of subjects are available. Peer tutors are Newman students who are currently taking courses, so they have an immediate understanding of the material.
You can schedule a meeting with a peer tutor online. If it's your first time, you will need register for an account.
Email a paper to have it marked for spelling, grammar, word flow, etc. and begin your tutoring conversation: writingcoach@newmanu.edu
