In collaboration with Oakton's Honors Program and Learning Center, S3 trains honors students who are taking or have taken higher level science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses* to become tutors. As an honors project, an S3 participant will participate in ten-hour training focusing on student learning styles, instructional strategies for strengthening students' academic performance, teaching/learning theories and techniques, and active peer collaboration in processing course materials. They will be assigned to observe a STEM class, lead a study session for the class two hours per week, and communicate with the instructor about course contents and issues students raised during study sessions.

 
S3 are paid a $600 fellowship for the semester. S3 participants who are taking a higher level course of STEM, or EGL101/EGL102, may be eligible to join STEM Enrichment Program or STEM Mentoring Program.
   
  *The qualified courses for S3 participants are MAT149, MAT250 or higher, CHM207 or higher, PHY221 or higher.
