The primary mission of the AOP staff is to help you achieve academic excellence in all of your courses. We personally help to match you with a tutor who has knowledge and skills in the area(s) where you want to excel or need support and help.
We have many tutors available to work with you and we will set up one-on-one sessions to get you to your optimal academic performance level. Our tutors are Chi Alpha Epsilon (XAE) Honor Society members, seniors, and juniors with strong GPAs and top grades in the courses they tutor. Students are assisted with general class comprehension, test preparation, textbook interpretation, and research papers. Tutorial is reserved for students who proactively strive for success.
Using the Internet to help you study! Quizlet (quizlet.com): This site allows you to make digital note cards to study from, and has an iPhone and Android app to take studying on the go. You can even look at flash cards that students around the world are making, so you can get a deeper understanding of what you’re studying.
