What is an embedded tutor?

Embedded Tutors are individuals who work directly within a classroom or specific course to provide academic support to students. Unlike traditional tutors who assist students outside of class, Embedded Tutors attend classes, collaborate with instructors, and offer targeted help related to course content. Their goal is to help students understand material, develop learning strategies, and improve overall academic performance within a course. This approach fosters a more integrated and accessible support system for students. Embedded Tutors are often found in college and university settings, especially in courses where students may need extra assistance.
