Subject-Specific Tutoring:
Meet with one of our tutors for help in a specific subject. We can help you understand content that seems challenging, review for quizzes and exams, and review assignments, quizzes, exams, and projects that you have already submitted. We cannot help you complete homework assignments, but we can help you work on similar problems or concepts.

Writing Consultations:
We can help you with any stage of the writing process from deciding on a topic to proofreading a "finished" paper for purposes of reaching clarity. A writing consultation is very much a conversation between you and your consultant. We will ask you to communicate the ideas you wish to convey and will help you determine if the paper you are writing adequately addresses the assignment.

Study Skills Specialists:
Would you like to strengthen your academic abilities or set achievable goals for the semester? Meet with one of our Study Skills Specialists for help with time-management, study skills, organizational techniques, reading comprehension, goal-setting, note-taking, and test-taking techniques.

For help in any of these areas, log on to starfish.psu.edu and follow the instructions within the box that addresses your concerns.
