Announcements Academic Skills Tutoring You know that the THINK TANK has tutors for subjects like math and writing, but did you know that we also have tutors to help with study skills? Our Academic Skills Tutors (ASTs) are here to work with you individually on topics ranging from managing time effectively to adapting your study strategies to meeting the level of rigor required in college. Online courses require students to approach classes differently than in-person courses. If you are finding your online class confusing or challenging, an AST can provide guidance on how to navigate online course from figuring out deadlines to effective study strategies for exams when there are no lectures.
Academic Skills Tutors are also available by appointment at this link: http://thinktank.arizona.edu/academic-skills-tutoring-workshoprequest . Interested in Academic Skills instruction for a group? You can request a workshop for your club, class, or organization. Spring 2018 Academic Skills Drop-in Hours at Bear Down Gym Monday: 9 AM - 11 AM & 3 PM - 7 PM Tuesday: 3:30 PM - 7 PM Wednesday: 3 PM - 6 PM Thursday: 10 AM - 12 PM & 3:30 PM - 6 PM Online Wednesday and Thursday: 5 PM - 7 PM CLICK HERE TO BEGIN YOUR ONLINE TUTORING SESSION (In order to access online tutoring during the scheduled times, you will need your NetID and password.)

The Writing Center To help you meet your goals, the Writing Center has three types of sessions. You don’t have to have finished your paper or have even started writing! You can come with just the assignment sheet, your notes or ideas, or a draft – and you can always come with questions for our certified peer tutors. Fifteen minute drop-in and 30minute appointment sessions are free. One-hour individual appointment sessions are fee based.
Math Tutoring The THINK TANK offers math tutoring support by certified peer tutors, and lots of it. Whether it’s College Algebra, Calculus I, Calculus II, or Business Math, the THINK TANK offers lots of ways to get math assistance. We can help you with MATH 100129.
Math Drop-In Tutoring Drop-in math tutoring is available during various hours at all locations. Grab your textbook, laptop or assignment and head to one of our locations. Bring your CatCard to sign in with the Desk Assistant, then look for your subject on the table signs and have a seat. You'll be seated with other students studying the same material and a tutor will check in with you to see how they can help! Drop-In Math tutoring is FREE.
