Peer tutors at the Success Center are here to help you with you academic goals. We are interested in seeing you learn to help you help yourself. Helping yourself helps you build confidence in your abilities. You can take more control of your learning by attending class, paying attention to your attention while in class, taking good notes, doing your homework, and asking for help when you first encounter problems. Waiting only makes it worse.
If you find yourself struggling in a class, observe what it is you are struggling with. Is it a theory, a particular step in a problem, a combination of issues? Focus in on what is troubling you so that you can ask the right questions when you get help. The solution to your problem may be easier to understand if you are asking the right questions of your helpers. It could be organizing your notes in a notebook so that they correspond with topics covered in you class syllabus. It could be changing your schedule so you can work on homework after class rather than after the day is over or the next day. Arranging your time and resources can make a huge impact on how much success you have with difficult course work.
