Get help in the Student Achievement Centers

Carolyn Shaffer, Manager, Student Achievement Centers

By the time you read this, you will be one quarter of the way through your classes for the spring semester!  In another few weeks you’ll be facing mid-terms.  

You know that your instructor is there for you, but you also know that sometimes it’s hard to attend all their office hours.  Whether you’ve started off strong or are feeling like you’re in a fog, the Student Achievement Center tutors are here for you.

We have over 25 tutors that cover over 75 different courses at several campus locations.  If you need help with your algebra class, anatomy & physiology or even psychology, come see us. 

When you step into the building at Truax, just look above the Welcome Center and you will see the Student Achievement Center on the second floor (room A2000).  There are also Student Achievement Centers at Goodman South, Fort Atkinson, Reedsburg, Portage and Watertown.  

Here, you will find friendly staff waiting to help you find just the right tutor to fit your schedule and your learning style, whether it is in person or remote, for the courses you need the most help with. 

Can’t make it in person?  Give us a call at 608-246-6125 and we can teach you how to make remote appointments with tutors or give you customized schedules of when tutors are available in-person that fit your needs. 

Ready to make your own remote appointments?  Follow this web link to “Book A Tutor” (notice tutor profiles to see who tutors which subjects):  https://libguides.madisoncollege.edu/bookatutor/. 

If you are looking for help for writing papers, don’t overlook the help available to you in the library.  You can book a Personal Academic Librarian (PAL), too!  A PAL can get you off on the right foot with your research and writing.  Information to sign up with a PAL is also on the Book A Tutor page.  The Writing Center also has appointments to help with your papers at: https://students.madisoncollege.edu/writing-center. 

Whether in-person or remote, we encourage you to take advantage of the tutors at the Student Achievement Center to help you through all those difficult concepts, learn better studying habits or to boost your grades.  

Now is a great time to get to know us so you can be ready when those mid-term exams arrive!  Don’t be shy!  Come see us today.
