Tutoring

SuccessConnects offers tutoring in the most commonly challenging courses at U-M.

Tutors work with SuccessConnects scholars one-on-one for an hour weekly during the Fall and Winter semesters. Tutors are current U-M students who have previously taken the courses they provide help with. Availability is limited, and sign-up is first come, first serve.
