TutorMe is a online, subject-based tutoring service (e.g., help with “chemistry” not specifically “CHEM 1020”). This service is free for UW students, if you login using your WyoWeb credentials).

*Note: We recommend trying our UW tutoring centers first, as they are familiar with UW courses and expectations. TutorMe is a helpful option if you find you need support in a subject area not available in our tutoring centers.

Your “Not-So-Secret” Secret to Success

Tutoring can be your key to success in college. Instead of spending hour after frustrating hour struggling with challenging material, schedule a one-on-one session to make the most of your time. Our peer tutors, who have successfully completed the same courses, are eager to help you succeed. This free service is a great opportunity to review material, build effective study habits and avoid the stress and late-night cramming that often leads to exhaustion and poor performance. Let STEP Tutoring be your “not-so-secret” weapon for success this semester!
