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.

Yes! Each review is tailored to the professor(s) teaching in the current semester.

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!”

Tutoring Options

WHAT IS AN EXAM REVIEW?

An exam review is a single review session in the week prior to the exam. Each exam review includes:

  • One comprehensive 3–4 hour review session
  • On-demand review access
  • Corresponding review guide
  • Practice exam with detailed solutions
  • Access to your tutor via email

Exam reviews focus on the topics and question types that are most likely to appear on your exam. Learn everything you need to know in one convenient review!

A weekly review package is a series of review sessions released each week to cover the current material. A weekly review package includes:

  • Weekly 1–2 hour review sessions
  • On-demand review access
  • Corresponding review guides
  • Constant access to your tutor via email
  • FREE access to the corresponding exam review & practice exam

Our weekly review package is the best way to make sure that you are staying on top of the material for your class! Avoid last-minute cramming and dive deeper into the course material to improve homework, quiz, and exam scores.

Private tutoring is available for all classes upon request. If you are interested in private tutoring, please email PrivateTutoring@LionTutors.com for more information. Please note that private tutoring does not include LionTutors review guides or practice exams. It is best used as a supplement to the exam reviews and/or weekly review packages.

Getting Started

DOES LIONTUTORS OFFER A FREE TRIAL?

All LionTutors “Exam 1, Week 1” reviews and many “Exam 1” reviews are 100% free! Visit your class page to see the options available.

All exam reviews and weekly packages can be purchased online. Simply find your class, choose your review(s), and complete the enrollment process. You will immediately receive emails with instructions for setting up your account and accessing your review(s).

Yes! If you are purchasing a review for someone else, click “gift this product” (instead of “add to cart”). You will enter the student’s name and email address, and then they will receive emails with instructions for setting up their account and accessing their review(s).
Typically, new weekly reviews are released each Monday, and exam reviews are released one week prior to the exam. You will be able to access any currently available reviews immediately upon completing the enrollment process.

On-Demand Video Reviews

HOW DO I ACCESS ON-DEMAND VIDEO REVIEWS?

You receive emails with instructions for setting up your account and accessing your review(s) immediately upon completing the enrollment process. You will be able to access your available reviews online, anywhere and anytime, by logging into your account.

Each video can be watched 1.5 times. We know, 1.5 is a weird number, but this will allow enough time to watch the review once all the way through and some extra time to go back and rewatch parts that you want to see again. For example, if the review is 4 hours, you will get 6 hours of view time.
No. You can pause your video anytime and resume watching when you’re ready. As long as the video isn’t playing, it will not count toward your view time.
You can email your tutor with any questions – Just make sure to include the class, review title, and as much detail as possible about your question. Your tutor will respond within 24 hours (but usually much faster)!

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.

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.

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.

 

In-person review sessions are held downtown at the LionTutors Review Center. Please check in for reviews at our main office in Suite 340.

Review length varies depending on the amount of material covered. Typically, exam reviews are 3–4 hours and weekly reviews are 1–2 hours.

Review Packets

CAN I ACCESS THE REVIEW PACKET / PRACTICE EXAM ONLINE?

Yes! You will have online access to the review packet and practice exam for the duration of the semester.

Please note that you can only submit the practice exam once; however, you will still be able to view the questions and answers after it has been submitted.

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).
