The Jensen SAS Center and Lindgren Tutoring Center are absolute hubs of student activity, not just for CNSM students, but the entire University. Students from all colleges, departments, and majors use CNSM tutoring services, making them an invaluable resource for our campus community. Both locations offer a space where students can feel comfortable and get a break from the pressure of classes.
One of the most important aspects of our tutoring centers is the focus on peer-to-peer tutoring. Students receiving peer-to-peer tutoring get the benefit of a more relaxed way of learning and a different perspective, while our student tutors learn from teaching. Student tutors gain a greater understanding of the material and simultaneously improve their communication skills. Supporting student tutoring means supporting student growth, and student success.
“As a CNSM student, the tutoring program in CNSM has contributed largely to my education and understanding in my classes. It is a safe space for me to find help when I’m struggling to understand topics within my major classes or even advice on how to study for specific classes.” – Kate Herrera, tutee, 3rd year, Organismal Biology
“I acquired confidence in interpersonal communication and effective teaching skills that lead students and myself to academic success.” – Yuuki Funakoshi, peer-to-peer mentor, 2nd year, Chemistry
