Tutoring and Study Skills
Every Academic Success Center (ASC) location feature staff members who not only tutor students in course-specific skills and concepts, but also suggest valuable study skills and strategies for mastering course content.
The ASC staff approaches tutoring in a way that helps students acquire skills and become more in control of their success outside the ASC and the classroom.
How to Get the Most from Each Tutoring Session
- Visit the ASC early and often throughout the term.
- Establish a specific goal during each tutoring visit.
- Bring textbooks, class notes, past exams or papers, course syllabus, and assignment directions or prompts. Doing this helps the students and tutors during a tutoring session.
- Make note of specific questions to discuss with a tutor.
- Participate actively in every tutoring session. Learning is an active process.
- Seek time to work independently after discussing a topic with a tutor. This allows tutors so see how comfortable students are with the content.
- Attend class regularly. Tutors are unable to "teach" the materials instructors properly present in class.
