Tutoring Programs
Our Center provides professional tutors and peer tutors who have been recommended
by CCRI faculty to provide tutoring for their courses. Tutoring helps you learn course
material for a specific class by clarifying course concepts and practice with course
materials. You do not have to be in jeopardy of failing to get help from a tutor. Watch the video directions below to learn how to book appointments with a CCRI tutor
through Starfish.
How to Schedule Tutoring Appointments
In addition to CCRI tutors, you have access to private online tutors 24/7 through
our partnership with Pear Deck Tutor. Schedule appointments with a Pear Deck Tutor
through your CCRI Blackboard account.
Partner with an Academic Coach*
Academic coaching is a personalized student-coach partnership with appointments tailored
to your needs. Meetings may include discussing organization and time management skills,
textbook-reading techniques, note-taking tips, and test-taking strategies. We offer
coaching services as one-time appointments or a series of consultations throughout
the semester. Watch the video directions below to learn how to book appointments through
Starfish.
