Unlock your inner brilliance. Join STAR and turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s achievements.
Join STAR and get matched with a dedicated tutor who meets with you in a small group for 60–90 minutes each week—online or in person—to target the subjects you want to strengthen. Sessions are tailored to your learning style and paced around upcoming assignments, quizzes, and exams. You’ll pick up proven study strategies, receive clear explanations of tough concepts, and set short, achievable goals that translate into better grades and greater confidence. Outside of sessions, you’ll have access to optional group workshops. Throughout the semester, your tutor tracks your progress and celebrates each milestone, so you can see your growth as you move toward academic success.
