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!

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
