  • Peer Tutoring Services

    OASIS provides peer tutor support in two primary modalities: virtual and in-person.  The former consists of a nightly, virtual study-hall that is operational Sunday - Thursday, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., or through an application that can be accessed on either TUC Connect, Canvas, or the OASIS website.  In-person tutoring can be arranged by completing an application on any of those sites for one-on-one support. Subjects include most of the material covered in both the College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM) or Physician's Assistant (PA) program.
