Tutoring

The Center for Academic Success and Achievement (CASA) provides tutoring in mathematics and writing as well as subject tutoring in areas such as accounting, biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science and physics, food and nutrition, business and economics, geography, history, logic, philosophy, research methods/SPSS for sociology and psychology, and Spanish. Information about and schedules for tutoring in math and writing can be obtained from CASA.  Subject tutors, students with junior or senior standing who are recommended by faculty to work as tutors, are hired based on need. Contact Ally Chisholm, Academic Success Coordinator (achisholm@framingham.edu, 508-215-5830) if you wish to request a subject tutor.

The Mathematics Department provides peer tutoring in Hemenway Hall 402 most days, Monday through Friday, between 9:30 AM and 2:30 PM.  Check the schedule outside the door for more details.

Academic Strategy Peer Tutors (ASPTs) work one-on-one with students throughout the semester to guide them through the transition from high school to college. ASPTs, who serve as academic mentors and role models, work with students to help them develop strategies for time management and test taking as well as study skills and note-taking skills. If you would like to meet with an ASPT, contact Ally Chisholm, Academic Success Coordinator (achisholm@framingham.edu, 508-215-5830).

Online tutoring is available to all Framingham State University students through a collaborative relationship with ThinkingStorm.  Via the ThinkingStorm page on Canvas, you may

  • upload a document to ThinkingStorm for writing feedback,

  • set up an appointment with a ThinkingStorm tutor for help with business, writing, advanced statistics, and other topics, or
