Co-Pilots are highly trained peer tutors who have been recommended by their professors and have excelled in the classes they tutor in.
UP tutors are called Co-Pilots to emphasize their key roles of guiding and supporting the students they work with as they continue to grow as learners themselves. The Learning Commons recognizes that both Co-Pilots and the students who seek their help are in the middle of navigating their academic journeys. While Co-Pilots help their classmates, they continue to grow and learn as well.
Students can get help from Co-Pilots in a variety of subjects and skills, including:
Writing Assistant Co-Pilots are here to help UP students in all stages of the writing process! Struggling with a thesis? Need some feedback on an outline? Not sure how to approach revising a paper? Set up an appointment with a Writing Assistant Co-Pilot!
