Study Skills Tutoring

Study Skills Tutoring is individualized support to develop key skills to be successful in college. Study 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 Study 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

Study 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!

*What is Body Doubling?

Body doubling: What is it? How does it work?

“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
