2012 TUTORS: ASU Tutor Center

Purpose of Tutors

The goal of ASU Tutoring is to help students become independent learners. Tutors provide help with time management skills, critical thinking, and study skills strategies such as note-taking, understanding lectures, and test-taking skills.

Tutors see students on a walk-in basis – no appointment is necessary. Individual tutoring sessions last approximately an hour. To ensure each tutoring session is beneficial and productive, students should do their class assignments before visiting a tutor. Students should come prepared with all necessary materials (textbooks, syllabus, class notes, etc.) and have specific questions prepared for their tutors.
