Jumana and Danish: Chemistry Beacon Tutors

It's ARC's award-winning peer tutoring program.

A trained tutor who has successfully completed a course works with a small group of students currently enrolled in the same course.

The study group meets 2 hours a week outside of class.

Students and tutor work together and learn from each other.

As a student participating in the Beacon Program, you will automatically be enrolled in Human Services 1000, a no fee, no grade, no credit class.

Students who participate in a Beacon study group...
get better grades
understand the subject better
make new friends
pay nothing--it's free!
earn extra credit (not offered in all Beacon courses-ask your instructor)

Ask your instructor if he or she has a Beacon study group for your class. Many instructors also offer incentives, often in the form of extra credit points, for those in a Beacon study group.

If you received an A or B in any course at ARC and you are interested in helping others learn, you may want to become a Beacon tutor. Ask your instructor if he or she would like to have a Beacon tutor.
