Who are our Tutors?

They have been recommended by faculty and received formal training. UMBC’s Tutor Training Program is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association’s International Tutor Training Program Certification.

Why should I use Academic Success Center tutoring services?

Tutoring is an appointment you make with yourself to study and practice at least once a week. Students who go to tutoring tell us that they better understand course concepts and are able to apply new techniques they learn in tutoring later on their own.

To make the most of your tutoring session, prepare by bringing concepts and problems you would like to practice with your tutor.

Students who are registered with the Office of Student Disability Services and need accommodations must contact tutoring@umbc.edu in advance as soon as possible. For ASL interpreters, please contact the Office of Student Disability Services.
