Hello Jumbos,

This Week's News and AnnouncementsHow Does the ARC Support Your Academics?The Academic Resource Center (ARC) offers free one-on-one consultations in writing and time management and study strategies, as well as tutoring for introductory-level courses in sciences, math, economics, computer science, and foreign languages. We promote engaged, collaborative learning throughout your Tufts career with programs that build on your strengths while addressing your concerns and questions.
We offer different experiences depending on your year. Most first-year students find us through the following programs:
- Taking an introductory science, math, economics, engineering, or language course? Check out our Subject Tutoring program for support outside the classroom. If you are taking Bio 13 or Chem 1, we recommend joining our Study Groups.
- Whether you are enrolled in first-year writing or another writing-intensive class, our Writing Support programs demystify college writing by helping you clarify your argument, organize your ideas, and better understand the conventions of different disciplines.
- Adjusting to college life can bring new expectations and challenges. Discover personalized strategies for planning and organization, academic skills, and life balance by working with our Time Management & Study Strategies consultants (TM&SS)!

How Do I Book a Tutor?For subject tutoring, writing consultations, and one-time TM&SS sessions: - Log in to SIS with your Tufts username and password.
- Select “Tutor Finder” from the “Academics” drop-down menu.
- Choose the subject or type of consulting you want.
- Pick a time that works for you!
- To request ongoing TM&SS consulting, go to go.tufts.edu/tmsssession.
Keep in mind: - It’s a good idea to go to the first week of classes and gather syllabi and other materials before booking a tutor.
- At the same time, don’t wait until the end of the semester! Working with a tutor early is the best way to establish healthy habits for writing and studying.
- If you have any questions, email us at arctutoring@tufts.edu, call 617-627-4345, or stop by our office in 720 Dowling Hall!
- Find out more at go.tufts.edu/arc!
