Who are Learning Peers?
Learning Peers are students just like you who learned how to master their courses and volunteer to help to other students with their courses. They are the best kind of study-buddies, offering friendly support, a wealth of subject-specific knowledge and study strategy ideas. It's more than tutoring; it's like a personal trainer for your academic life.

Looking for more help?
Be sure to take advantage of your instructor's office hours. Also consider setting up your own study group, attend a study skills workshops, or book an appointment with a Learning Strategist.

Looking for a fantastic leadership opportunity? Become an LP for fall 2023!

Learning Peers are current MRU students who support fellow students in a variety of courses through: sharing subject-specific knowledge, exploring content using high-impact study strategies, and coaching and encouraging others to achieve a variety of academic goals. Student Learning Services provides in-depth training and ongoing support to ensure this is a rewarding volunteer leadership opportunity.

What does it take?
B+ or better course grade in the course you want to help with, ~2-hours of volunteer time per week, and a passion for helping fellow students!

Why should you get involved?
Gain volunteer leadership experience and a wealth of skills that will stand out on any resumé. As an added bonus, we are excited to offer a variety of tailored Learning Peer Awards each term for outstanding performance (ranging from $100 to $500), personal and professional development opportunities, great swag, and social events.
