Additional Support for your Learning
The Academic Skills Center is open to the entire Dartmouth Community. Here are some common reasons why you might visit the ASC:
- You're getting B's but you want to get A's
- You don't feel comfortable talking in class
- You're attending class regularly but you feel like you're missing important points
- You feel like you're a slow reader
- You're having trouble completing tests in the allotted time
- You're spending hours studying for foreign language but still not “getting it”
- You feel like you don't have enough time to get everything done
- You're not sure how to take notes
- You want to sign up for a tutor or study group
- You're not sure if you should get tested for a learning disability
See also the Tutor Clearinghouse if you would like to find a private one-on-one peer tutor. Tutors are recruited, having done well in the subject, and are trained by the Academic Skills Center. If a student receives financial aid the College will pay for three hours of tutoring per week. If you would like to have a tutor, please go to 301 Collis and fill out an application as early in the term as possible.
