How can I make the most of tutoring?
Start early in the semester
Don’t wait until it’s too late! The earlier you come in, the better our tutors can help!
Come prepared
Bring your books, syllabus, assignments, notes, and any questions you have.
Communicate
Let us know how we can help you! If there is something you don’t understand, ask for clarification
Be engaged and actively participate
Put away cell phones and devices to get the most out of your tutoring session.
Have realistic expectations
The Success Centers can help you on your way to success, but tutoring sessions cannot replace regular, attentive class attendance.

It is up to you to take the initiative to succeed, so visit the Success Center early and often!
