Academic Skills Assistance
Students often need help outside the classroom to succeed in their coursework. Below are options students have when seeking additional help to achieve academic success.
Drop-In and By-Appointment Tutoring
- The Writing Center: peer tutoring for help with writing assignments in any class.
- English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Center: professional tutoring for non-native English speakers seeking help with writing assignments in any class.
- Mathematics Learning Center: peer tutoring for help in all undergraduate mathematics and some graduate mathematics courses.
- LEAF Lab: peer tutoring for help in accounting, economics and finance courses.
- CIS Sandbox: peer tutoring for help in computer information systems and information technology courses.
Sustained Individual and Small Group Peer Tutoring
Students seeking more in-depth help can apply for one-on-one or small group peer tutoring through the Office of Student Success. This program allows students to work with the same tutor over the course of many weeks or even a whole semester on a particular class in which they need additional support.
Geek Squad
Run out of the Office of Student Success, the Geek Squad is a team of peer tutors that create review materials in collaboration with academic departments and lead review sessions for common Bentley core curriculum courses, including AC 115, AC 201, FI 118, EC 111, and MA 105, among others.
Academic Mentoring
Run out of the Office of Student Success, the Academic Mentoring program offers a wide range of academic skill-building tools to help students stay organized, manage their time, study effectively, and realize personal goals. In addition to accessing online resources and attending events, students can also apply to work with an individual academic mentor over the course of many weeks or even a whole semester.
Centers
Bentley's academic centers bring faculty, staff, and students together with external partners from the business world and community to collaborate and share ideas, from scientific breakthroughs and business ethics to digital design and workplace diversity.
