Benefits of LionTutors
WHAT SETS LIONTUTORS APART FROM OTHER TUTORING SERVICES?
LionTutors is dedicated to providing high-quality tutoring to Penn State students. Some of the main benefits of choosing LionTutors include:
- Content created for Penn State students — While most tutoring services offer general subjects such as “math” and “science,” LionTutors reviews are updated and customized to line up with your specific Penn State course and professor.
- Comprehensive reviews — Students are not expected to have a list of questions or topics to review; LionTutors provides a comprehensive review of everything you need to know.
- Highly-qualified tutors — Our tutors go through extensive training on the specific course content as well as the best teaching methods.
- Over 15 years of experience — Our team has a proven track record of helping Penn State students get the grades they want.
ARE LIONTUTORS REVIEWS PROFESSOR-SPECIFIC?
Yes! Each review is tailored to the professor(s) teaching in the current semester.
I’M A “GOOD STUDENT.” WHY DO I NEED TUTORING?
LionTutors reviews are designed to make studying more efficient. Even “good students” often underperform on college exams because they “didn’t have enough time” or “didn’t study the right stuff.” Through meticulous organization and experience our tutors help you in a number of ways:
- They organize the review to focus on concepts that are most likely to appear on your exam.
- They work through sample problems that will give you a clearer idea of how material will be presented on your exam.
- They make sure that you are aware of the most effective way to use the study materials available to you.
We know that your time is valuable. That’s why our motto is “Don’t study hard, study smart!”

In-Person Reviews
DOES LIONTUTORS OFFER IN-PERSON TUTORING?
Yes! We offer in-person tutoring options for many of our reviews. To see if an in-person review is available, select a review/package under “enroll now.”
If there are no in-person reviews offered for your class, we highly recommend trying our on-demand video reviews! The vast majority of our customers prefer on-demand video reviews for their convenience and flexibility.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IN-PERSON REVIEW SESSIONS AND ON-DEMAND VIDEO REVIEWS?
No. The in-person reviews are identical to the on-demand video reviews.
When available, you can choose to attend the in-person review at no additional cost. You will have access to the on-demand video review regardless of whether you choose to attend the in-person review; however, it is not necessary to watch both unless you want to review the material twice.
DO I HAVE TO SIGN UP TO ATTEND IN-PERSON REVIEW SESSIONS?
You must purchase an exam review or weekly review package online in order to attend an in-person review. If we are offering in-person reviews for your class, you can attend at no additional cost and without notifying us in advance. Just show up 10-15 minutes before the start of the review and check in using your student ID. Seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
WHERE ARE IN-PERSON REVIEW SESSIONS HELD?
In-person review sessions are held downtown at the LionTutors Review Center. Please check in for reviews at our main office in Suite 340.
HOW LONG ARE IN-PERSON REVIEW SESSIONS?

CAN I GET A PRINTED COPY OF THE REVIEW PACKET / PRACTICE EXAM?
Yes! Printed packets are available as an add-on when you purchase any exam review or weekly review package. Printed packets can be picked up at LionTutors anytime during our hours of operation (starting on the date the review becomes available).
