Tutor

The Tutor provides intensive academic support to student-athletes by reviewing specific content information, directly teaching learning strategies, and modeling good information processor skills. Tutors support student-athletes in their pursuit of academic excellence, graduation, and attainment of independent learner status. In short, tutors provide content expertise and serve as a model for student-athletes in the techniques, strategies, and beliefs that successful learners employ as they acquire new knowledge, solve problems and complete academic tasks.
