Lyon College’s tutoring program is a peer-facilitated academic support program that features a unique blend of supplemental instruction and traditional tutoring methods. Like SI leaders, tutors attend classes and introduce transferable study skills that apply to course content. However, the tutoring program also provides Lyon College students assistance with homework assignments and is available to those who prefer the one-on-one approach not offered in traditional SI sessions.

Lyon College offers tutoring free of charge several hours per week in the Morrow Academic Center. Students can drop in or schedule an appointment with a tutor during his or her scheduled office hours.
