Trained student tutors are available to provide personalized, one-on-one support and walk-in sessions to help you excel in your course material.
Support is available for most introductory and upper-level undergraduate courses, as well as for subjects like physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering. Remember too, you can receive ongoing support from the Math Center and Writing Center.
To get started, complete the tutoring request form. Once you're assigned a tutor for a specific course, you can work with them for the remainder of the semester—no need to re-submit the form. If you want to request tutoring for an additional course, then you'll need to submit a new request form.

Academic coaching conversations empower you to further enrich your Widener experience. When you meet with an academic coach, you’ll partner to develop a plan that establishes a path to achieving your academic goal. Along the way, we’ll help you identify personal barriers that may be impacting your success and work with you navigate these challenges.
The time you spend with an academic coach is personalized—it can be as long or as short as you need! With that said, an initial academic coaching conversation typically lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the academic support you need. Follow-up coaching conversations generally last 30 minutes. You can also meet with various coaches throughout the semester.
