Looking for additional support to help with course content? Rotman Commerce and the U of T Tutor Directory are here to help!

They’ll help you review key concepts and engage in course content in a collaborative and supportive learning environment. The U of T Tutor Directory connects you to affordable, high-quality tutoring and support across a range of RSM, ECO, and MAT courses.
RC tutors can set their own rates on the U of T Tutor Directory.
- Access the U of T Tutor Directory.
- Search for a tutor by course code (i.e. RSM332H or MAT133Y).
- Read the tutor profiles that appear in the results and find tutors who are “RC certified.”
- “RC Certified” means that tutor not only completed the U of T Tutor Training Program but also a Rotman Commerce specific training. Rest assured, these are tutors who are also in Rotman Commerce and have succeeded in the RC courses.
- Choose a tutor and start a chat. If you feel comfortable that they can help you, set up a tutoring session!
All tutors on the U of T Tutor Directory have completed modules on U of T resources, communication, creating boundaries, introduction to academic skills, ethics in tutoring, analyzing assignments and syllabi, and using questions to support active listening.
Tutors with the “RC Certified” tag have additional qualifications:
- Are Rotman Commerce students
- Knowledge of Rotman Commerce curriculum
- Knowledge of Rotman Commerce services and resources for students
Note: Tutors are self-employed and not employees of the University of Toronto. As such, we cannot guarantee the performance of your tutor. The service agreement is between yourself and the tutor. If you have questions or comments about the RC Peer Tutor Network or your session, please contact Cathlin Sullivan, Academic Advisor – Upper Years & Transition.
Getting course support through peer tutoring can help you improve your grades, develop your skills and work toward your academic goals. Here are some tips to help you make the most of peer tutoring.
- When searching for a tutor, read through profile comments.
- Be aware of a tutor’s limitations. Peer tutors are not instructors or teaching assistants, but they will do their best to provide you with guidance.
- Before your session, think about your goals and expectations, and share them with your tutor. This will help both of you focus on your priorities during the session.
- During the session, have your course materials available and ready to share.
- After the session, make sure you reflect and determine if you need to make another appointment.
- Consider writing a comment on your tutor’s profile. Did they help you gain a better understanding of course content? Return the favour and post an appreciative comment.
