About Tutoring
Tutors at the Student Success Center 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. We provide tutoring for over 150 UofA courses each semester. There is no cost to attend a tutoring session!
Tutoring @ the CORD is certified 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 we work hard to ensure that all tutors have the tools and resources to assist you to the best of their ability.
