Co-Pilots are highly trained peer tutors who have been recommended by their professors and have excelled in the classes they tutor in.
UP peer tutors are called Co-Pilots to emphasize their key roles of guiding and supporting the students they work with as they continue to grow as learners themselves. The Learning Commons recognizes that both Co-Pilots and the students who seek their help are in the middle of navigating their academic journeys. While Co-Pilots help their classmates, they continue to grow and learn as well.
In addition to tutoring students through appointments and drop-in hours, Co-Pilots provide peer academic support by leading workshops, creating resource guides, and developing and leading other initiatives.
