The Student Success Center offers individual tutoring for a variety of courses. Most of these courses are STEM focused (math, science, and engineering).
Is tutoring for me?
We recommend that you see a tutor at the first sign of trouble. Too often students wait until they are really struggling in a course before seeking help.
That said, did you know that tutoring is an effective tool for boosting anyone’s academic performance? Tutoring can help an average student become an excellent student. Tutors can assist with checking homework, test preparation, note taking and study skills. Academic self-confidence will increase as you gain better comprehension of course material.
About our tutors
In addition to maintaining high academic standards, each SSC tutor has been recommended by their program of study for their demonstrated ability to help others learn. Having taken many of the same courses that you are in now, they can also help you build an academic network for your major.
Tutoring expectations
Please remember that the role of a tutor is to help guide you through the process of understanding the subject matter. They support your learning by reviewing key course concepts and helping you to formulate questions that you can take back to your professors about course material.
Tutors will not do your homework for you or answer questions without challenging you to think.
To make the most of your tutoring appointment, you will need to come prepared.
