The department and our team

学术支持 Centers consists of the Tutoring Center and the Science Study Center. 辅导中心, 位于3125房间, supports students across many of the College’s academic programs. The Science Study Center, 位于3220房间, focuses on supporting students in biology, 化学, and natural science courses.

Our multi-disciplinary team includes professional fellows and peer tutors. Fellows are staff with disciplinary and teaching expertise. 的同学 are students who have been recommended for the position and receive ongoing education and mentorship to support their growth as tutors.

Tutoring and other 服务s

学术支持 Centers offers several 服务s, including individual tutoring with professional fellows and peer tutors—both in person and online. Tutoring is an educational and collaborative partnership. The goal of tutoring is to help students:

• Understand and practice course material
• Connect what they’re learning in classes to other areas of their life
• Work independently with more skill and confidence
• Reflect on how they learn
• Meet their academic goals.

我们如何工作

在我们所有的服务中, we engage and support learners collaboratively to help them reach their individual goals. Our work is grounded in a strengths-based perspective: We acknowledge each student’s capacity to learn and help them build from their existing skills and experiences in both academic and non-academic contexts. While we support students’ work “in the moment” as they complete specific assignments and prepare for exams, we focus on facilitating opportunities for students to learn broader disciplinary concepts, develop metacognitive strategies, and connect their learning to new contexts throughout their academic and professional 职业生涯s and their personal lives.
