SUBJECT

AREA TUTORING

Christopher Newport students are committed to helping each other. Those having trouble with a specific class, needing help mastering a concept or wanting to review course material can work with peer tutors to improve performance. The goals of the Tutoring Center are to provide quality peer tutoring for undergraduate students who desire to improve in their academic performance in course work and to equip students with the tools, strategies and resources to become independent learners.

The Center for Academic Success offers three different types of tutoring including individual tutoring, drop-in tutoring and group reviews. As a College Reading and Learning Association internationally certified tutoring program, the center adheres to stringent requirements in the selection of its tutoring staff as well as the developmental learning process that our tutors practice with students. In order to understand this “active” learning process, all students who wish to request a tutor must first complete our online tutoring module.
