Do you need help with course content or a paper? The Center for Student Success offers free peer-to-peer content and writing tutoring with a focus on engaging students in active learning to help build academic strengths.
Content-Based Tutoring Services
If you are looking for additional support in introductory courses such as sciences, math and psychology – please ask about our one-credit Peer Support Workshops. These workshops can also be viewed in Course Search by subject area.
Our office includes 65 exemplary undergraduate and graduate tutors who tutor in writing, chemistry, biology, math, physics, social sciences, engineering, business, foreign languages, and the performing arts. Our tutors go through special training, including topics like student-centered tutorial dynamics, tutor rights and responsibilities, as well as department and institutional polices. They are also informed about mental health issues and athletic compliance guidelines.
