Are you interested in FREE academic support services or in becoming a volunteer tutor? The Greater University Tutoring Services (GUTS) is recruiting peer tutors and tutees for all GUTS programs.
GUTS is a great campus resource if you’d like support in your UW classes, learning or speaking a second language, or developing study and learning strategies. All GUTS programs are FREE and provided by peer tutors who have taken the classes you are going through right now, and have earned an AB or higher.
GUTS also provides valuable volunteer opportunities, where you can develop teaching/tutoring, communication, and other professional skills, while helping fellow students achieve their academic goals. We are recruiting tutors for all programs, and we have a specific need for tutors in our Drop-In Program (DI).

- NEW! Peer-2-Peer Mentorship Program (P2P): The Peer-2-Peer Mentorship Program (P2P) is a GUTS pilot program intended to support first-year students, second-year students, and transfer students who have started college during the pandemic or who do not have much familiarity with the UW-Madison campus and its resources. Students who participate in this program will be matched with a peer mentor who will meet with them, respond to their questions or concerns, and help them get acclimated to UW-Madison’s campus.
