In need of a tutor?

You just talked to your student and they mentioned one or more of the following statements:

"I don't think I am studying the way I should because I was up all night cramming for those midterm exams last week but I still didn't do so hot."

Or maybe you heard," I think I'm falling behind in my reading, there's just so much of it."

"I just don't seem to get some of the stuff these teachers are talking about," or "I'd like to be able to study with someone."

If this sounds familiar, why don't you suggest that they check out the Tutoring Services Web site. We have put together some study tips/techniques that even the hard core studier could find useful, such as why its so important to draw up that study schedule and to include meals, work and fun, how to effectively read all that material and how to take really good notes.

They will also find information about dates/times/locations for Tutoring Services Study Sessions that are affiliated with some courses this semester. If they don't see a subject they are looking for, we also have the "request for starting a study group" section of the Web site they can complete!

These study sessions are led by student peers that have successfully completed the course with that same instructor (in most cases) and they can be of value by helping to explain course content and to provide college study strategies. Attending the study sessions held each week should NOT be a substitute for going to class, but should be utilized as an ADDITIONAL part of your student's weekly study routine!

Have them check back often, as the list of study sessions offered grows throughout the semester.
