What Can You Expect During Tutoring?

Tutoring is a conversation and a collaboration. Bring your course materials, questions,
and goals, and your tutor will work alongside you as you explore ideas, practice skills,
and guide you to expand your understanding of the course material.

During your session, you and your tutor may:

• Talk about your goals, challenges, questions, and concerns.
• Start with what you already know
• Create an agenda for the tutoring session
• Break down a challenging concept or idea
• Work through examples and practice problems
• Explore new study or problem-solving strategies
• Talk through your ideas and understanding
• Create a plan for what to do next
• Book future tutoring sessions.

Beyond Just Tutoring

Our Mission

Learning Support Services aims to empower students to achieve academic success by connecting them with trained tutors and SI coaches who model expert academic behaviors.

Through Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction, students will:

• Build confidence in challenging courses
• Develop effective learning and study strategies
• Practice explaining and applying what you are learning
• Prepare for assignments, exams, and future courses
• Become a more capable and autonomous learner

Our Tutoring Philosophy

We believe students learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and by connecting with professionally trained tutors as peers.

During a session, your tutor will:

• Collaborate with you, not work for you
• Ask purposeful questions about your goals and thinking process
• Guide you as you make connections between ideas and concepts
• Encourage curiosity, reflection, and productive struggle
• Encourage you to continue learning after the session ends

Tutoring is more than just casual help. It is professional, intentional support designed to strengthen your understanding, build your confidence, and move you toward greater academic independence.

Learning Support Services offers a variety of study spaces designed to support both individual and group learning. Students may book study rooms from your phone using Penji!
