Group & Individual Study Sessions

KACE offers one-on-one study sessions with qualified subject, writing, and academic tutors. Individual study sessions with a tutor are available by appointment. To schedule an individual study session with a tutor, contact the Kissinger Academic Center for Excellence or fill out a tutoring request form, which can be found on Canvas.

Individual study sessions with a qualified writing tutor are also available by appointment and 12 – 1 p.m. in KACE. The online submission form is found on the CANVAS page.

For a current list of available tutor/facilitator positions and/or to apply, please go to the Office of Work Life Engagement on the first floor of Decker Hall. All applicants for all tutor and facilitator positions must meet the minimum requirements, which include the following:

• Must have the recommendation of their instructor for that particular course.
• Must have received a grade of a B or above (preferably an A in that particular course).
• Must have at least a sophomore standing or a “strong” faculty recommendation from the instructor of  the course being tutored.
• Must agree to specific KACE professional standards.
• Must take part in the tutor mentorship program.
• Must complete tutor training (all sessions).
• Must be willing to meet and communicate with course instructors.

One-hour study group sessions and extra group study sessions before exams are held as demand indicates is necessary.  

Receiving help with specific course content can greatly enhance a student’s learning experience. Group study sessions can deepen the student’s understanding of the material while receiving feedback and guidance from the tutor. Tutors can also assist students in developing effective study strategies tailored to the course content, resulting in enhanced learning and retention of the material.

Group study sessions have advantages. Students are not only involved in their own learning but also in the learning of their peers. They are also an excellent way to find and select a study partner and to socialize with peers.

Contact the Kissinger Academic Center for Excellence or fill out a tutoring request form, which can be found on Canvas. New groups may be formed as interest is demonstrated.
