Learning CenterASA believes that every student is unique. They have different strengths and learning styles. They also learn complex material at different rates.
The ASA Learning Centers offer students free, unlimited tutorials to help them reinforce and apply key concepts in their class work. This tutoring program plays a crucial role in ASA's strategy for providing students with the means to adequately prepare for employment.
Supervised by a full-time director, the ASA Learning Centers in Manhattan and Brooklyn are 400-square foot facilities with seating for 30 students. Computers are equipped with the latest tutorial software, including The Web Tutor, which provides instructors with practice tests, exercises, student progress tracking reports, and a chat room where they can tutor or chat live with students. At the beginning of every semester, each Center posts a master schedule with the times that tutors will be available for courses in every major field.
Additional tutoring can also be arranged in any subject based upon individual student need. Students can meet with instructors and tutors individually or in small groups.
Tutoring is handled by faculty members, teaching assistants, and work-study peer counselors. Special services such as the Supplemental Instruction Meetings (SIMs) assist students in their academic endeavors.
Prospective students may receive free ESL and math tutoring at the Learning Centers. Classes are conducted by the faculty of the General Education Department. For additional information on these classes, registered applicants should contact the Admissions Office. |
