Course Embedded Tutoring (CET)

What is a Course Embedded Tutor (CET)?

A Course Embedded Tutors (CETs) are connected directly to your class and instructor. Depending on the setup, a CET may:

Attend class sessions and provide in-the-moment support
Be part of your class Moodle shell to share reminders, resources, and updates
Provide support with assignments, projects, or labs (in or outside of the class time)
Offer one-on-one or small group support outside of class
Lead study or review sessions

Because they work closely with your instructor, CETs know the course expectations and materials inside and out.

Instructor insight: CETs understand your instructor’s goals, teaching style, and assignments.
Peer perspective: Many CETs have taken the same class themselves. They know what it’s like to be a student and can share strategies that worked for them.
Campus connections: CETs can guide you to other tutoring and campus resources when you need extra help.
