Peer tutoring is available to all of our student at a cost of $4/hour. All of our tutors are required to have earned a “B” or higher in their courses and maintaining a 2.0 or higher GPA.

Smarthinking is an online tutoring service that is available for all students, free of charge. Smarthinking allows students to receive help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and provides tutors in Math, Biology, Writing, Economics, Finance, Anatomy, and Physiology. Students can schedule individual tutoring sessions, submit questions and will receive a response within 24 hours, or you can stop by for a "walk-in" visit. Anyone wishing to utilize Smarthinking can email Danielle McClure at dmcclure@unoh.edu for a username and password.

The lab also works with students on an individual basis for help in the following areas:
