The Center of Learning and Student Success (CLASS) offers a wide range of academic support, including 1:1 and small group tutoring, writing support, supplemental instruction, and student-led study groups. These services are provided to undergraduate students free of charge.
Peer Tutoring – 1:1 Course Specific Support
Course content and study skills support is available to students through the Peer Tutoring Program for many undergraduate courses. Peer Tutors are Rutgers-Camden students who have earned a B+ or better in the course(s) they tutor, have been recommended by a faculty member, and receive ongoing training both in current tutoring practices and tutoring strategies relevant to their tutoring discipline.
Our Tutor Training Program is Level II certified through the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) and designed to meet the requirements of International Tutor Training Program (ITTPC). Peer tutors must complete the Tutor Training Program and 25 hours of 1:1 tutoring to earn CRLA Certification. Tutoring is available in person or virtually, day and evening, every day (hours vary by course).
Exam Review Sessions
Interactive course review sessions allow students to discuss, study, and practice course material and help them prepare for exams. Led by peer tutors, course review sessions are inclusive, collaborative, and engaging. Now more than ever, students need spaces to study collaboratively, ask questions, and engage with course material. Course review sessions are scheduled throughout the semester based on course enrollment.
Writing Coach & General Writing Assistant
Writing support is available to students, guiding them through all aspects of the reading and writing process (brainstorming, outlining, writing, revising, editing, polishing) and the critical thinking skills required to communicate ideas successfully. Writing workshops, tutorials, and online resources are available to help students develop their writing skills.
Supplemental Instruction (Courses Vary by Term)
Students enrolled in algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, biology, physics, or computer programming courses are offered small group tutoring sessions led by a dedicated Peer Learning Course Assistant. Course Assistants are Peer Tutors with several semesters of tutoring experience who’ve completed the Tutor Training Program, earned their CRLA Certification, and consistently demonstrate the ability to motivate and encourage students to improve their academic performance.
