Study Skills Support

Academic Success Center (ASC) staff members 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.

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, notes, past exams or papers, syllabi, and assignment directions or prompts. 
• Participate actively in every tutoring session. Learning is an active process.
• Seek time to work independently after working with a tutor. This allows tutors so see how comfortable you are with the content. 
• Make note of specific questions to discuss with a tutor.
• Attend and participate in class. Tutors discuss specific concepts but do not teach like an instructor. Time with a tutor does not replace class instruction.
