Tutoring

• Break your study time into small chunks rather than large cram sessions; you will remember more and be able to get more accomplished.


• Make a checklist to organize your time and keep track of what you complete as you study.


• Use a study partner to reinforce the information the needs to be learned.


• Use the library! Studying in a quiet place facilitates focus and concentration, and removes the distractions common to a residential space.


• Create memory tools. Rhymes, mnemonics, flash cards and jingles help with retention.


• Use all your senses! Outline and summarize your reading and lecture notes—read the summaries you create—recite what you know aloud. Writing, speaking, hearing and seeing the information, create a synergistic effect that increases retention.


• Make it your own. Restate course material in your own words. Using your own language makes course material familiar, which in turn, provides helpful memory cues.


• Recharge your brain. Get enough sleep so your brain can function at its’ maximum potential.


• Use your EOP tutor and/or visit the Student Learning Center for academic reinforcement.


• Build in time for yourself when your study time is completed. Reward yourself for a job well done!
