Undergraduate peer drop-in mathematics tutoring is a common form of support at the university level, yet research regarding how to train this specific group of tutors is underspecified. This paper aims to describe a training program for this population that is grounded in mathematics education research. It serves as a first step in conducting a…

Mathematics tutoring centres exist in varying forms at universities across the United States of America. Despite having similar goals, these centres vary a great deal in their practices, resources, and organizational structures. In this study, the researchers conducted a survey of mathematics tutoring centres in the United States in an effort to…

This paper uses a framework established by one of the author's in a previous study and refines it to develop a rubric for mathematics tutor training in third-level education. The paper further opens the discussion on the necessity of, and practical methods for, providing high quality, efficient tutor training at third-level. Models of mathematics…
