Study Skills Tutoring

Study Skills tutoring supports students as they develop skills related to the process (or the “how”) of learning.  Instead of working on specific areas of content, students use study skills tutoring to hone and expand their time management and organizational skills, explore new and different study strategies, and discover an array of tools to help them build academic confidence and competency.

Our Team

Study Skills tutoring is facilitated by our most experienced group of tutors, the Peer Mentors.  After demonstrating exemplary performance as course-based tutors, Peer Mentors apply and interview for this leadership position.  Peer Mentors receive additional training rooted in metacognitive development, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling before they begin study skills tutoring.
