Tutoring Assistance
Request for Tutoring Assistance
Fill out request a tutor to request tutoring assistance. Specify when you are available (days and times during the week) and how often you would like to meet.
We will try our best to fulfill your request as soon as possible, however we often have a waitlist for tutoring, and we cannot guarantee that we have a tutor on staff for every subject.
We are currently only accepting requests for lower level (100-200 level) courses at this time.
If you have not heard from either our office or one of our designated tutors after 4 business days, please send an email to academics_first@sfu.ca (please note: business days are generally Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm, excluding public holidays and university closures). If the link below is not working, please email academics_first@sfu.ca.
If you have been assigned a tutor, you will receive an email with their contact information. Please reach out to them ASAP. If a tutor has tried to contact you twice, with no response, we will assign the tutor to someone else. We require that you notify your tutor if you can no longer attend a scheduled session due to illness. No-show's will not be tolerated and you may lose your tutoring privileges.
Please note that tutoring is limited to five hours total (which includes all of the classes you have a tutor for). If you require more than 5 hours of tutoring, you will need to contact the NCAA Program Coordinator at ncaa_adv@sfu.ca to set up an appointment to evaluate additional resources, and determine if more hours is appropriate.
Need Help Writing?
Please note that tutoring assistance is for course content only. If you require assistance with writing (essays, formatting, structure), click here to book a consultation with the SFU Library's Student Learning Commons (SLC).
For writing assistance, you may also use the WriteAway program which allows you to submit papers for review before you submit them to your professor. Learn more about this service by clicking here.

We do not currently have times available for the Fall 2023 term for Math and CHEM drop-in tutoring. Please look for an email from Kelly Traynor when this becomes available.

Apply to Become a Tutor
Academic Tutors are on-call paid positions for undergraduate students committed to working with individual student-athletes in a variety of disciplines helping them understand course concepts, as well as developing and improving their academic learning strategies. We accept applications for all subject areas and welcome all eligible applications. We receive tutoring requests from students for classes in all departments and faculties, and so we encourage you to apply outside of the above areas as well.
