Project Success’s tutoring program seldom focuses on content area tutoring. The main objective of Project Success tutors is to promote academic independence. Therefore, with the exceptions of Writing and Mathematics courses, the program does not hire course specific tutors. Rather, we hire mostly junior, senior and graduate Education majors with strong academic backgrounds to teach students reading, spelling, writing and study skills. At times, tutors do supply some content area background for students who need it, but the focus of every tutoring session is on assisting the student to learn how to study and achieve academic independence.

 For content area tutoring current UWO students are encouraged to utilize the Center for Academic Resources here
