Our Services

ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING

Our tutors are student employees who have been trained to help you master course content and fine-tune your studying skills.

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION

The SI Leaders are student employees who lead weekly group study sessions outside of class on topics covered in class during the week. Supplemental Instruction Leaders have successfully completed the class for which they lead SI, take notes, and model exemplary student practices. The Center for Student Success offers SI for many courses in the General Education Core.

ACADEMIC PEER MENTOR PROGRAM (APM)

Our Academic Peer Mentors (APM) are upper-level student employees trained to help new MVNU students transition into college life. If you work with an APM, they’ll meet with you weekly to provide academic assistance and accountability. They can also help with time management, organization, study strategies, and other forms of personal or academic accountability and support.

The MVNU Writing Lab exists to create a safe and friendly space for you to share your work and receive thorough and considerate feedback from attentive peer tutors. Our job is to empower you to become a more confident, self-sufficient, and effective critical thinker and communicator.
