Tutoring and Learning Support Services in the Center for Academic Success Department

Welcome

The objective of Tutoring and Learning Support Services at CAS is to enable Kean student to gain competence and achieve excellence despite the time limitations imposed by everyday obligations, as well as the varying level of background experiences and academic preparations faced by many of our undergraduates.

Tutoring is available by appointment and on a drop-in basis. Sessions are one-on-one or in groups. The Center for Academic Success selects and trains both student and professional tutors. It is offered in a wide range of undergraduate courses.

Tutoring focuses on areas in which students most often experience difficulty, from introductory-level through senior-level courses. Tutorial activity is adapted to course content and objectives, and is an extension of classroom instruction. The goal is to provide all students the opportunity to achieve the highest grade possible and also to master the academic content needed to progress in their academic careers.

Tutoring and Learning Support Services also works closely with departments such as the Spanish Speaking Program, the English as a Second Language Program, and the disability office to assist these students populations in addressing their specialized needs. Additionally, CAS provides space resources for the writing portfolio professor in the English composition general-education course. Currently in development is a multidisciplinary Writing Center, where students can seek assistance with writing assignments in any academic class.
