The demands of medical school are very different from most undergraduate experiences. Adjusting to the volume and density of information presented in class often leaves students feeling unsure of their ability to learn and integrate this learning successfully.  At some point in time, most of us can benefit from the assistance of someone who has more experience than we have in a particular area. 

Students who may benefit from tutorial services should complete complete a Tutor Request Form. The OMSE faculty and staff will work with you confidentially to accommodate your specific needs and learning styles. Students who receive tutoring benefits must also show commitment to the learning process; please review the University of Vermont Tutoring Protocol (Medical Student Handbook Policy 710.10).

Tutors learn twice! Learn from the experience of helping one of your peers understand the rigor and dynamics of the curriculum and strengthen your own skills in these content areas. Moreover, tutors are paid for the hours they work with students.

All peer tutors are students who have excellent academic standing and excel in the areas in which they tutor. If you are interested in becoming a peer tutor, please email Dr. Timothy Moynihan, Director of Academic Achievement: timothy.m.moynihan@med.uvm.edu
