Tutoring
Facilitated by CWI’s Tutoring Services staff, these workshops will help you to enhance the skills necessary for the demands needed to succeed in the classroom. Discussions will cover regular, hybrid, and online course sections. Many of our workshops are facilitated by student tutors allowing you to gain a perspective that’s unique to your peers. Our workshops are collaborative in nature so participation will be highly encouraged.
