SASHP Peer Tutoring is searching for honors students from across the university to volunteer to tutor fellow Rutgers undergraduate students on a one-on-one basis. 

SASHP Peer Tutoring was started by an honors student like you, to give back and share their knowledge with other Rutgers students. As a tutor, you will improve your critical thinking, teaching, & leadership skills, and build your self confidence.  You will also increase your connection to the Rutgers community, all while helping your peers to succeed!
