Tutoring Services for Students
The Center for Academic Achievement offers peer tutoring to students taking classes in degree-granting programs at Lesley University.

Tutors work with students one-on-one or in small groups as they exchange ideas and feedback, explore their learning styles, and develop new skills. The Center also provides support for students with learning differences (LD) and for students whose first language is other than English (ESL).
Tutorial sessions are by appointment only. Visit the CAA office or call 617.349.8459 to schedule a session.
