It is important to plan ahead and tutoring spots are filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Although students can sign up for a tutor at any point in the semester, STAR Services encourages students to request a tutor early in the semester for maximum benefit and to avoid scheduling delays.
The LU Tutoring Center on the first floor of the Mary and John Gray Library. We make every effort to find tutors for your courses. Appointment times are flexible. We will work with your schedule.
The STAR Services Tutor Training program is certified by the internationally recognized College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA), so our peer tutors understand best practices in learning support.

Students who attend Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions:
Students can check the Session Schedule to see what SI sessions are being offered at LU. Instructors who are interested in starting or renewing SI for their courses should submit a Session Request.
Supplemental Instruction sessions are typically offered for STEM subjects—such as Biology, Chemistry, Math, Engineering, and Nursing—but we are always looking for new courses.
During the first week or two of class, the Leader will announce that a session will be offered and give a brief introduction and details about the session day, time, and location. Students may also check the Session Schedule.
Up to three hours of sessions may be offered per week, and session times will be announced by the Leader in class.
To apply to be a Leader for Supplemental Instruction, please complete the following application. If you have questions regarding your application, please contact Dylana Sauerwein at starstutoring@lamar.edu.
