KUPT consists of volunteer peer tutoring programs, in which academically successful students tutor younger students to help them with their course work. In the general KUPT program, students receive help in their course work from a tutor who has previously taken the course and earned an A/A+, thus offering students help in knowledge and skills in their particular courses and content areas. Another program exists for EMC (English-mediated course) tutoring to assist students struggling with English as a second language, and a third program assists international students. By participating in the program, tutees can obtain useful learning skills and knowledge for their courses. Tutors can enhance their expertise in their areas of academic interest, and can develop their communication skills, as teaching others can deepen one's own mastery of ones subject area and teaching skills.

Regular Course Tutoring

This is a voluntary one-to-one (or one-to-two) tutoring program for help with regular courses within the undergraduate curriculum. Tutees can receive help with learning skills and their content areas in certain courses, and tutors can enhance their areas of specialty, leadership, and communication skills. The tutors are students who have previously taken the course and who have received an A/A+ grade in the course. Those who complete over 16 hours of tutoring will receive a certificate for their volunteer work. Before the semester starts, CTL will advertise for volunteer tutors. Those interested in tutoring may then apply through the CTL website. The CTL will likewise advertise for students in need of tutoring, and those needing tutoring may apply at that time. The program requirements and procedures are as follows.
