No. Tutors are not allowed to assist you with your assignment or assessment (test, exam, etc.). Tutors are required to report academic misconduct to their Academic Success team lead. Review Georgian’s regulation on academic integrity for further information.

Tutors will coach you using tips and strategies to improve and build your learning and study skills. Each tutoring session will have specific and realistic goals that you help create.

Tutors must always adhere to Georgian’s academic integrity philosophy.

Here are a few resources that our tutors recommend - https://library.georgiancollege.ca/tutoring/resources
