SASS Tutoring Services

Student-Athlete Success Services offers free tutoring to currently enrolled KSU intercollegiate student-athletes. The purpose of tutoring is to help the student to reinforce difficult material, not to replace classroom instruction. All students are encouraged to seek assistance from their professor before requesting tutors, as the professor is the most knowledgeable about the subject.

Tutoring Policies
Students must print out the Instructor Notification form and have their instructor sign it prior to the first tutoring session.

Tutors are to assists students with understanding difficult material. They DO NOT do work for students. Tutors DO NOT HELP WITH GRADED WORK OR ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS. Please do not ask tutors to help you with graded  or online assignments, this is in violation of the school’s academic honesty policy. Please find a similar exercise and bring it in for a tutor to help with.

Tutors assisting with writing assignments will proofread for grammatical errors and make suggestions on structure and formatting. The tutor will not actually write the paper with you. They will give suggestions for topics or areas to research but it is up to the student to do the actual research and writing.

Available Subjects
Tutoring is available in a one-on-one setting in the majority of general education subjects and  several upper-level courses . Students needing one-on-one tutoring must place a request. Several subjects are also available for walk-in tutoring on a first come first serve basis. Subjects offered and availability are subject to change.
