• Increase awareness of procrastination and identify ways to get back on track
• Assist with exam preparation and test taking strategies
Tutoring appointments are 50 minutes long. To make the best of your tutoring session, be sure to be prepared with questions to ask your tutors. If you have any questions about clarification on your assignment, a tutor might refer you to check in with your professor. The No’ eau Center tutors equips its staff to review essays holistically. The No’ eau Center tutors do not spell check, grammar check, or proof-read essays, but the Center’ s tutors work with students to assist them in developing the skills to apply spell check, grammar check, and revise the student’ s own work.
