What to expect

When you come to the SCAA, you will encounter a talented and capable staff of Peer Leaders and Front Desk Team members who will do their best to help you succeed. A SCAA tutor's primary goal is to help you discover and develop strategies that will empower your own learning and enhance those skills you already possess. A SCAA tutor's role is not to edit or proofread your papers, or do your work for you. Rather, SCAA tutors will work together with you to help you become a self-empowered, independent, and successful student.
