Peer Tutoring & Coaching
Before scheduling an appointment, please review the following appointment policies:
- Traditional tutoring appointments are limited to two appointments per student per week
- Reading and argument coaching appointments are limited to one appointment per student per week
- There are no weekly limits on tutor-led study groups and peer advising appointments
- Back-to-back appointments are not permitted for any service
- It is the ARC's policy not to go over homework problems and writing assignments during peer-led sessions. Instead, tutors and STEM coaches will review concepts and provide practice problems that are similar to those commonly assigned as homework and on exams. Argument coaches will provide support with pre-writing activities such as thesis development, evidence selection, and outlining, but will not review written drafts.
Please note that only available appointments will be displayed by the scheduling system. Appointments will only be visible two weeks in advance. If this is your first time booking an appointment with the ARC, you will be asked to create an account using your Columbia email address.

Individual Consultations
Where tutoring and coaching appointments help students learn to master specific course material, individual consultations are designed to provide support with the many other factors that contribute to academic success, including time management, metacognitive study strategies, test taking, and more. Individual consultations may be scheduled through the Columbia GS Student Success Portal by choosing "Schedule an Appointment" >> "Teams" >> "Academic Resource Center."
