Peer Tutoring Program

Tutoring Appointments – 50-minute sessions

The Peer Tutoring Program offers individual tutoring and peer-tutored study groups for undergraduate students. Please make appointments at least one hour in advance. When you make an appointment, you will see the location to meet your tutor.

Tutoring works, especially if you go early and often. Of students who attended 5 or more tutoring sessions last year, 95% passed their courses, most with a grade of C or higher.

If you can’t get an appointment for the class you want, or if you have any other tutoring questions, contact Jesse Loewen in the ASC.

Make a tutoring appointment here.       

Organization and time management

We offer assistance with organization and time management skills. For an individual consultation or more information, stop by the ASC and request an appointment, or email any of the ASC team.

Try these organizing resources:

For a sense of your whole semester, print a copy of our handy academic planning calendar – the whole semester (or May Term) on one page! Fill in all your biggest exams and due dates, and post it by your work space.

Semester Calendar Spring 2022-23

Next, think about your weekly time blocks. Use one of the organizers below to graph out your class times, meals, work hours, regular meetings, etc. Then look at the time you have left. Plan your study blocks, allowing 2-3 hours of study outside of class for every hour in class. This should also be posted on a wall or carried with you, until it becomes habit. Lastly, think about a daily to-do list, on which you will capture assignments and prioritize. Some people use planners, sticky-notes or a small pad of paper they carry everywhere. Some people use the calendar, task list or notes on their phones. Others keep a running list on a white board in their room. It must be a format you will look at and update daily. Experiment and find what works for you!

Weekly schedule                   Do and Due  (weekly list of what’s due and when you’ll do it)

When the list is long or overwhelming, prioritize. One way to think about it is to Eat the Frog.

ABC task list  This is a daily  t0-do list that helps you prioritize. Commit to doing the “A”s (the frogs) first.

A planner or to-do list is no good if you never look at it. Develop the habit of a regular time every day to make your to-do list. For some people it’s first thing in the morning. For others it’s the end of the day. Check your planner or calendar, look at Moodle, check email. Make sure you’ve got everything. Then plan out tomorrow. Prioritize what you really need to do and think about when and where you will do those things, and write it down.  Remind yourself to do this with an alarm on your phone. To develop habits like this, or end bad habits, use this 30-day commitment form – posted somewhere very visible.

As you plan each day, consider when and how are you doing to study.

Keep your focus with the Pomodoro Technique.

Services for students with disabilities

To be eligible to receive accommodations, a student must provide an educational evaluation completed by a licensed professional, usually within the last three years. This documentation will be kept on file in the Academic Success Center office. The ASC provides a variety of services to students with documented learning disabilities. Read more about disability services.
