TUTORING SERVICES - DO Students

Your interest in tutoring at PNWU is sincerely appreciated. All students need some form of academic support. Some students opt to obtain that support through formal tutoring. At PNWU we strive daily to provide the very best academic offerings and enrichment to our students. Without the dedication of students to assist their near peers, we could not have a robust academic support program. Our intent is to connect you with students who are in need of your help in a structured, organized, and timely manner.

To begin the application process please read, fill-out, and agree to the following premises of the PNWU Student Tutoring Program. The Learning Skills Specialist will interview applicants to assess their interest in and aptitude for providing academic support in medical education. Course Directors may be asked to verify that applicants possess the content knowledge necessary to effectively lead recitations.
