Course content tutors are available in many of the major concentrations (i.e. math, biology, chemistry, physics and modern languages among others). Each semester, faculty from various disciplines recommend students who have successfully completed their courses to act as peer tutors for the Academic Support Center. Tutors review assignments in detail, help students plan long and short-term goals and assist students in becoming independent learners. Tutors will help students develop methods and strategies to solving problems rather than simply giving answers to questions.

Tutor Specialists

Short-term course content tutors are available by appointment to assist students with a variety of courses such as biology, chemistry, physics and nursing. A study skills tutor is available specifically to assist students with strategies, techniques, tips for reading comprehension, preparing for exams, as well as time management.

Study Groups

The Academic Support Center facilitates study groups which are led by peer tutors whom have been recommended by the professor. Study Group leaders offer weekly reviews of course material in many of the major concentrations, i.e., management, economics, biology, chemistry and math. The groups meet twice a week throughout the semester under the guidance of a trained student who has successfully completed the course, and has been recommended by the professor. Students work together to organize the week's notes, practice using concepts and formulas, prepare for quizzes and exams while learning how to develop good study habits.
