STEM and Business Tutoring

Our STEM tutoring covers mathematics, accounting, biology, chemistry, computer science, physics, as well as specialized support for Occupational Therapy Assistant, Surgical Technology & Veterinary Technician students. The ASTC developed a dedicated STEM materials laboratory featuring anatomical bones, detailed models, and hands-on learning activities specifically designed for health profession students. These life-sized models and interactive resources provide an immersive, near real-world learning experience that bridges the gap between the classroom & professional practice.

Academic Success Coaching

Students collaborate with academic success coaches,formerly known as General Tutors, to develop strategies and academic skills that help them compensate for challenges. Our academic coaches provide individualized support to address each student’s unique needs, identifying areas for improvement. They do not assist with subject-specific content; rather, they focus on helping students overcome difficulties in various academic areas.
