The TECHniques Center-Prospective Tutors Overview
The TECHniques Center is an academic enhancement program that provides supplemental academic support services to meet the needs and promote the retention of undergraduate students with documented evidence of learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders.
Tutors at the TECHniques Center are trained in workshops and seminars to develop the skills necessary for working with each student's learning style and disability.
