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 your time effectively to adapting your study strategies to meet 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 your online course from figuring out when things are due to effective study strategies for exams when there are no lectures.
