If you plan to take the TSI exam or missed the mark on your scores, we offer one-on-one tutoring for the Math and English parts of the TSI exam that provides an overview of key concepts and strategies for the TSI placement test. Sessions do not require an appointment and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Our tutoring areas also offer many study resources, including textbooks and access to computers free of charge.

You can combine several learning strategies to level-up your study skills.
