Your go-to space for info on all of the educational assistance programs at Coe!
Here is some go-to information on how to request a tutor, how to become a tutor, what SI sessions are and where to find them, what is and how to RAS, and what you can do with the writing and speak out centers.
Requesting a Tutor
Tutoring is available to Coe students at no charge and any student may request a tutor for any class. Tutors are assigned through paired matches and/or through tutee self-scheduling on WCOnline, and are available on a first-come, first served basis. All tutoring is contingent on tutor availability.
The earlier a student seeks tutoring support, the more likely it is that the tutoring will have an impact on learning and performance, and the more likely it is that a tutor will be available. Tutoring may be an appropriate academic support for you when you are attending class regularly, and:
- You are having difficulty keeping up with the pace of the professor
- You feel confused after class when reviewing your notes
- You are consistently unable to figure out how to complete out of class assignments
- You are experiencing feelings of anxiety or frustration related to the class
- You find yourself repeatedly putting off preparing for class

Scheduling with your tutor
Becoming a Tutor
Peer tutors are available to help students in most academic courses. Tutors must have successfully completed the tutored course, received faculty approval, and participated in tutor orientation. Tutors are paid, but there is no charge to students for tutoring services. Tutors have control over their schedules, and appointments may be scheduled during the day, in the evenings and on weekends, and take place online unless requested by you and accepted by the tutor.
Coe needs you! Tutors are needed for all subjects, particularly in math, science, and business courses. Earn money while sharing your knowledge and honing your interpersonal skills. You do NOT need to qualify for work-study to be a paid tutor. Tutor hiring will take place prior to and within the first couple of weeks of each new term.

SI (Supplemental Instruction)
Did you know that SI is going digital this year? Now you can get information and help from any of the SI leaders on campus from the comfort of your study space on Discord.
This discord is specific for those students who are in classes that have SI sessions. You can reach out to your SI Leader or Shanna Pikora, the program coordinator, at spikora@coe.edu and ask questions about your classes/SI in general.
This semester, there are SI sessions for OE Biology, Genetics, general Chem 1&2, Basic Physics, general physics, social criminal justice, intro psychology, and biopsychology.
If you haven’t checked out your Supplemental Moodle Page yet, go take a look!
Each course that has SI Sessions has a Supplemental Moodle Page -- run by your SI Leaders. You can find SI information, Zoom links, materials, and so much more on these pages! Be sure to check it out!
If you don't see the Supplemental Moodle Page on your Moodle Dashboard, be sure to email your SI Leader right away!

Writing center
With sixty peer consultants from just about every major on campus, we are an eclectic, creative and energetic group, ready to assist with writing projects of all kinds.
Our goal is to engage our community in conversations about writing; to that end, we not only help students with a particular writing assignment, but we strive to help them become more effective and confident writers.
We are located in Stewart Memorial Library, as part of the Learning Commons, and we offer conversations about any kind of writing at any stage of the writing process. Whether you need a sounding board, feedback or coaching, we are here for you.
No appointment is necessary to make use of this free service, but if you want to work with a particular consultant, or want a conference during our peak hours (mid-afternoon through mid-evening), you can sign up for a conference through our online scheduler or call the Writing Center at 319.399.8743 to set up an appointment.

Speak out Consultants
We offer individual consultations (walk-in, or by appointment), classroom workshops and campus events aimed at developing speaking skills within a variety of contexts — public presentations, ceremonial speeches, classroom discussions, interpersonal conversations, group meetings, interviews, etc. Our consultants educate students on how to communicate ideas persuasively and empower them to use their voice to succeed in their classrooms, communities and careers.
Faculty and staff also use the center and participate in teaching and learning workshops that address how to integrate oral communication into any classroom.
Services include:
- Consulting students on individual/group presentations, including brainstorming, outlining and delivering.
- Offering feedback on presentation rehearsals.
- Conducting workshops and delivering presentations on various oral communication topics to classes and groups.
- Assisting all students in oral communication- discussions, conversation, presentations, etc.
- Organizing and hosting oral communication related events.
SpeakOut Consultants are part of a larger group of peer education support available through the Learning Commons. Stop by the peer-to-peer academic support space to receive academic support, knowledge and skills from experienced students. Available most hours the library is open on the main floor of the library, or virtually via Discord.
