Request A Tutor

The Academics First Program collects personal information on behalf of SFU under the authority of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (RSBC 1996, c.165). The personal information collected includes name, student ID, SFU email and phone number. It is related directly to and needed by the University to administer a tutoring program. The information will be used to pair tutors with tutees.

If you have any questions about the collection and use of this information please contact Kelly Traynor, NCAA Student Program Coordinator, ncaa_adv@sfu.ca.

This survey is for student-athletes to submit a tutor request. Please provide as much information as you can in the sections below to help us find a suitable tutor for you.

We will do our best to fulfill your request within two (2) full business days. Business hours are generally Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding public holidays and university closures.

As a reminder, tutoring support is designed to supplement the academic resources and support available to you. Tutoring is not a solution for missing class or a method for having material taught to you, but rather a resource to be used in combination with the academic support and resources on campus. We encourage you to utilize the breadth of resources on campus to supplement your tutoring session:

Please note that you can receive a maximum of 7 hours of tutoring per semester. If you have used the maximum 7 hours and need additional tutoring support, you are required to meet with the NCAA Student Program Coordinator (ncaa_adv@sfu.ca) to discuss your needs. Requests for additional tutoring hours will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and in conjunction with evaluating other campus resources that can support your academic needs.

If you do not receive a tutor assignment email within two (2) full business days, please email academics_first@sfu.ca to receive an update regarding your request.
