Tutoring

Do you need help with a subject?—Stop by the Center for Student Success for help!

Tutoring for a specific course/subject: 

Receive free, one-on-one tutoring in a course/subject you are looking to get some help with. In most cases, tutoring will be offered by an upper-class student, who has received an A in the class. 

Reading, writing, and studying: 

We also offers free individualized assistance to anyone in the University community who wants to develop efficient strategies for reading, writing, and studying. Undergraduate and graduate peer tutors help with various writing issues such as generating ideas for papers, writing research papers, and organizing and editing drafts. Writing tutoring can also include strategies for task-and-time management and note-taking.
