Student Success Commons: Tutoring

 

An AI generated image of a hawk soaring in the sky

The Student Success Commons offers math, writing, and science tutoring. You'll find more details about which subjects we tutor, our schedules, and the tutors on this page.

Friendly reminder from the SSC: tutoring is a boost, but it's still your own wings that will allow you to soar!

Tutoring is a very effective tool that significantly improves the chances of passing. And it's for everyone—whether you're trying to catch up, keep up, or level up. Your tutor(s) will help you learn the material at your own pace and in ways that work for you, clarify information, help you strategize and find resources—all of which can help you succeed.

But remember that it's your own practice and persistence that really makes success possible. Combine our tutors' expertise and your own resolve and you’ll be amazed at heights you'll reach! You can succeed.
