Peer Tutoring Scheme Term 1 Service Period: 23 September to 29 November 2024

What is Peer Tutoring Scheme (PTS)?

Peer Tutoring Scheme offers informal opportunities for CUHK undergraduates and postgraduates to consult trained Peer Tutors on the use of English language in different areas of need, in particular, speaking and writing.

How can Peer Tutors help you?

Since 2016, we have over 100 culturally and linguistically diverse Peer Tutors from 18 countries/regions and 8 faculties. Our Peer Tutors will

- conduct one-on-one peer tutoring sessions;

- provide online feedback on your essays or assignments for any course;

- and help you build up skills for effective and independent language learning.

Kindly note that this scheme does not aim to provide proofreading/editing services, although Peer Tutors may help identify error patterns for you to edit. As each session has limited time, Peer Tutors may not necessarily comment on all the work you upload. You should also be reminded that you can only ask for feedback on your own work; you CANNOT book a session for someone else.

What do you need to do?

If you are interested in receiving online feedback on your work, you simply need to

Go to Registration Page

Tutors and tutees will NOT meet in person. Feedback will be uploaded to WCONLINE system/sent via email. The turnaround time is approximately 2 working days from the starting time of the reserved session.
