About Virtual Tutoring
The Program Advising and Student Success provides free group virtual tutoring to all Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) students and students taking management courses.
This schedule is in effect for the Fall Reading Week from Tuesday, October 12 to Friday, October 15, 2021 with the exception of Monday October 11 when the University is closed for a statutory holiday.
We offer group tutoring sessions. The maximum capacity is five (5) students in order to facilitate an optimized learning environment and ensure students are able to have their questions addressed. All tutoring sessions take place on Zoom, start at 10 minutes past the hour, and last 50 minutes in length.
Policies outlining the structure of tutoring sessions as well as students’ responsibility for their own learning and contributing to a collegial learning environment are located under our Tutoring webpage.
