STUDY SMARTER
STUDY SMARTER
• Study Smarter academic coaches meet one-on-one with students to determine their strengths and weaknesses as learners. • Together a student and coach design strategies to
meet individual needs. • They can arrange weekly or bi-weekly meetings to track
progress toward set goals. • Study Smarter Coaches also provide regular
workshops in Memory, Concentration, Time Management, Note Taking, Learning Styles, and Textbook Reading.

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION
SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION
• Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions are regularly-scheduled review sessions in which students integrate course content and study skills. • Tutors who have previously done well in the
course lead the sessions and work closely with faculty. • If you would like us to set up supplemental
instruction for a course, please contact us and recommend a former student that you think would make a good tutor.
