Success Skills Tutoring

Success Skills Tutoring is individualized support to develop key skills to be successful in college. Success Skills Tutors facilitate a process that helps you build capacity for success by focusing on the building blocks essential to academic achievement.

Individual Sessions

You can meet with a Success Skills Tutor for a 50-minute session to learn new skills like:

• Accessing Canvas
• Navigating Course Expectations
• Communication with Faculty and Staff
• Calculating GPA
• Reading and Note Taking
• Studying and Test Taking
• Time Management
• Motivation
• Body Doubling
• Other Academic Success Tools

Success Skills Tutors are trained to help walk you through different strategies and how you can customize them to fit your individualized preferences. Just like with a personal trainer with strategies for fitness, the strategy does not produce the results, but following the strategy will!

*Appointments must be scheduled 24-hours in advance of the appointment.

Body Doubling Hours

“Body doubling” is language from occupational therapy and is used as a technique to help individuals who find it difficult to sustain focus on a task. The idea is that having someone else in the same physical space can help reduce distractions, increase motivation, and improve productivity.

In Body Doubling Hours, you can come work in a productive environment led by a Success Skills Tutor who can check-in on your progress and will ensure the space stays productive. There is no need to schedule in advance.
