Northeastern Peer Tutoring is committed to offering FREE peer tutoring to aid Northeastern undergraduate students’ academic success through the support of their Northeastern peers. This academic year 2025, we are refocusing our peer tutoring program to support all eligible 1st year undergraduate students as well as students enrolled in high demand courses across the Northeastern global network. Please refer to the list of supported courses for Fall 2024 here: Fall 2024 Course List
