Academic Success Center - Grand Island

Tutoring is a free service to our students. Our tutors have knowledge in specific subjects and will act as a learning resource for you. They will help you review and study what you've learned in class. One-to-one and group tutoring is available in selected subjects.

We are also seeking students who would like to become tutors. If you have an above average grade in a specific course and would like to help others learn, then you may qualify. Our tutors are paid and set their own hours with individual students or study groups.

Distance Tutoring

Tutoring and  writing coach assistance are available through distance tutoring for online students or students unable to travel to a campus. These services are available every term – spring, summer and fall. Students and tutors will work together to determine the best way to conduct these tutoring services, whether it  is through email and/or telephone correspondence or WebEx meetings. Please contact any Academic Success Center to inquire about distance tutoring.

This is an intensive individualized workshop designed for students who want to achieve a higher score on the assessment or refresh their skills in certain areas. The Academic Success Center staff run the workshops with additional assistance from peer tutors. Workshops are available for math, reading and writing. The cost is $20.

The Academic Success Center also functions as a computer lab with computers available for student use. The Academic Success Center staff is available to offer assistance with WebCentral, Moodle, student email, printing and other general computer use questions.

Supplemental Instruction is offered in courses that are historically difficult for students. In this effort, a former student, who excelled in the area, attends the class and then offers additional teaching sessions to students. These sessions are held at times that accommodate student schedules like weekends, evenings, etc. Currently, SI sessions are offered for students enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology I, College Algebra, Math Essentials, and Med.-Surg. I and II.
