Discovery’s Center for Academic Excellence: Tutoring
What is the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE)?
The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) is a Discovery program dedicated to helping students become independent and skilled learners through the personalized help of trained tutors.
The purpose of the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) tutoring is to foster students' development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and study skills.
Discovery/CAE is located in the CIW Library in the Iroquois Commons building, on the floor above the CIW Dining Hall.
How does CAE tutoring work?
The CAE offers free tutoring services in a broad range of undergraduate courses on both a by-appointment and walk-in basis. We strongly encourage students requesting academic help to sign-up for and utilize CAE tutors on a by-appointment basis by coming in early in the semester so that they can work consistently and productively with a tutor in one-on-one or small group sessions. Ideally, walk-in hours should supplement regular tutoring contacts.
The walk-in hours are limited by time and subject. There are more tutors available on a by-appointment basis, and we will make every effort to recruit additional tutors in order to accommodate student requests.
