What is Academic Skills Tutoring?
Academic Skills Tutoring consists of individual 30-minute appointments with one of our trained Academic Skills Tutors. These appointments can cover:
- time management strategies (i.e., creating/maintaining a realistic school, work, and homework schedule; prioritizing your various different obligations and responsibilities; blocking your time; and more)
- study strategies that lead to retention and improved exam performance
- test taking strategies that can help mitigate feelings of test anxiety and help you to manage timed tests more efficiently
- note taking strategies that will increase comprehension
- effective midterm/final exam study planning
