Overview of Programs
Tutoring
Students can make an individual or small group tutoring appointment via Navigate. We have the option for in-person and online appointments. Tutoring is offered starting the second week of each semester until the last day of class. The list of available courses changes slightly each semester; check our website at the beginning of each semester for the most up-to-date offering. We get busy during peak test-taking times of the semester, so scheduling in advanced is recommended. When making the appointment, include specifics about the type of help needed as it will help us better understand the goals of the appointment. If a specific course is not listed on our website or offered through other resources on campus, please email us at asctutorhub@tamu.edu.Supplemental Instruction (SI)
In conjunction with The Association of Former Students, we host Supplemental Instruction (SI), an award-winning academic assistance program providing regularly-scheduled, out-of-class group study sessions for select lower-level undergraduate courses, led by an SI Leader. SI leaders, undergraduates who have taken and excelled in the courses they lead, can help you master course content and prepare for quizzes, exams, and class projects.

Success Coaching
Success coaching combines aspects of advising and counseling into a dynamic and personal interaction between a student and a coach. Our professional Success Coaches work holistically to help students examine their learning preferences, study strategies, and barriers to academic success. Students are encouraged to create and implement effective plans and strategies for future success. Most coaching is conducted one-to-one, but we also offer coaching for small groups. We host some coaching services at the Veteran's Resource and Support Center.We also have student Peer Success Coaches, who are fellow students whose experience and training can help students navigate the common challenges many students face. They are a great option for students who have a question about finding resources on campus or help with adjusting to life as a college student. Peer coaches have one-to-one appointments available and drop-in hours.

Texas Success Initiative (TSI)
TSI is mandated by the Texas State Legislature. The purpose of TSI is to identify and prepare those students whose basic skills in reading, writing, and/or mathematics are less than what is required to succeed in college level courses. Students who have been accepted to Texas A&M University but are considered "NON-EXEMPT" are required to complete the TSI Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA) and then to take the TSI Assessment test before registering for classes. Read more about TSI or find out if you're exempt.
Workshops
Our staff conducts a variety of free workshops throughout the semester for students interested in improving their academic performance. These workshops consist of 50- to 75-minute sessions over two or three week periods, and cover a variety of topics, including motivation and goal-setting, organization and time management, and overcoming failure, as well as general reading, studying, note-taking, and test-taking strategies. See individual workshop offerings and register.
