We’re committed to helping you succeed! 

We know that all Bobcats need to feel supported as students and individuals. The Academic Achievement Center (AAC) assists you in achieving your academic goals by providing free in-person and online tutoring, writing assistance, academic coaching, peer navigation and Supplemental Instruction (SI). Our goal is to empower you to be an independent and successful learner as you work toward your degree. 

Our services are delivered by fellow students who excel in their studies and want you to perform at your best. From tutoring to reinforcing good study habits, we help you develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed in your coursework. Studies show that students who take advantage of academic assistance tend to perform better in their classes and retain more information.

The students who serve as tutors and navigators are experts in their fields and trained following the College Reading and Learning Association guidelines on ethical standards and best practices. They’re eager to share their knowledge and proven techniques to help you get the most out of your Ohio University education.
