Study with a Tutor

Study Halls offer an opportunity for you to work on homework, study with classmates, and ask a tutor questions when you need help. These are drop-in study hours and you can stay for as little or as long as you like. Study hours are hosted in the CORD and in Adohi B, Maple Hill East, Morgan Hall, and Pomfret.

About CORD Tutoring

CORD Tutors are students who have excelled in their disciplines and are here to help you excel in yours. Our tutors can help you reinforce what you already know and understand new material through working practice problems, reviewing study strategies, and using their course experience to explain content. There is no cost to attend a tutoring session!

CORD Tutoring is certified as a Level I & II tutor training program through the College Reading & Learning Association's International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC).

All tutors complete CRLA Level I Certification training during their first semester of tutoring and have the option to obtain Level II Certification in a future semester. We work hard to ensure that all tutors have the tools and resources to assist you to the best of their ability.
