 Frequently Asked Questions:

  1.  How long are sessions?
    • Sessions are one-hour long
  2. Where do I meet with my tutor?
    • Appointments can be face-to-face or virtual. After you book your session(s) you will need to coordinate with your tutor to decide where you would like to meet. 
  3. Do I have to pay for tutoring sessions?
    • No, DukeLIFE covers the cost of your session(s) 
  4. What do I do if DukeLIFE does not have a tutor listed for a course I need help with
    • The first step would be to request a tutor for the course through Penji. Please keep in mind this does not guarantee DukeLIFE will be able to provide support. The second option would be to utilize tutoring support through the Academic Resource Center. The Academic Resource Center offers group tutoring, SAGE communities, learning consultations and more.
