Success Center

The Success Center provides academic support services to A&M-Texarkana students with the goal of improving student academic success. The Success Center houses a full service tutoring and peer-learning center with computer lab, private and group study areas, and 9-5 tutoring across most core disciplines -- all free for students to use.  Services include online and face-to-face tutoring, supplemental instruction, workshops, and tutorials. By focusing on success, the Success Center hopes to ensure every student has the tools to make it through their degree. 

Tutoring

Professional and peer tutoring forms the backbone of Success Center student support.  Success Center tutors are faculty recommended and certify through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA), providing individual and small group tutoring sessions by walk-in or appointment. Students can meet face-to-face or online and schedule regularly occurring meetings throughout the semester on times that fit their schedule. Tutors aid in course content comprehension, test-prep, and long-term skill development, but above all assist students in becoming independent learners.

Online Tutoring

All subjects offered for in-person tutoring are also offered online.  You can meet with your tutor from any internet ready device, phone, tablet, or laptop.  Online meetings are by appointment to quickly get you connected to the help you need.

Supplemental Instruction (SI)

Supplemental Instruction (SI) targets traditionally difficult courses by closely integrating a certified SSC tutor with the class. Tutors attend all class lectures and lead weekly group study-sessions with students. During these sessions, tutors facilitate discussion of course content, hold reviews for exams, and help students develop class-specific study skills. Above all, SI tutors serve as both resource and model to students, reflecting and promoting the independent mastery necessary for students to succeed in the course.

Student Success Series Workshops

Student Success Series Workshops provide learning opportunities for students each semester with one goal in mind: spend less time studying and more time learning.  Workshop presenters bring a wealth of knowledge about academic and student life issues. Topics include study methods, note and test taking, textbook strategies, and composition workshops.
