The Peer Assistance Center (PAC) is a chemistry tutoring center open to all students in 100-level chemistry courses.  The tutors hired for the PAC are pre-service teachers who have completed a training session taught by the PAC advisors. Qualitative data collected by an interview of four of the PAC tutors will be discussed. This interview revealed parallels between the concepts tutors help students with and the content for Teacher Preparation and the Michigan Teacher Training Certification.  Additionally, PAC tutors report the center helps them practice different teaching methods and build a rapport between students and faculty.
