Description of program

Tutoring is available free of charge to all Rowan University students. Tutorial Services provides individual, small-group, or drop-in tutoring in most subject areas. Students may request academic assistance on a one time basis or may be scheduled for regular assistance on a weekly basis throughout the semester.

Supplemental Instruction accompanies courses for which there is a traditionally high rate of tutor requests. These specialized group tutoring sessions are led by trained tutors working closely with professors and attending regular class sessions of the selected course. Tutors reinforce specific course material emphasized by the professors plus use their own successful student experiences to integrate what-to-learn with how-to learn.

Other Services

Workshops on learning strategies and effective study techniques are presented at various times throughout the academic year. Students may also request individual consultation regarding learning strategies.
