Mission Statement

The Catamount Academic Tutoring (CAT) Center’s services are designed to provide a solid foundation for college success. Students in 100 and 200-level classes who participate in small-group tutoring sessions have an opportunity to improve their knowledge of course content, to cultivate an understanding of their learning preferences, and to develop study strategies that can be transferred to upper-level courses. Learning Resources are available to all students and include strategies for time management, note taking, studying, and test preparation. CAT Center tutors are successful students who are recommended by the faculty and trained in effective tutoring practice via an Internationally Certified Tutor Training Program.
