ESU Earns Highest Certification for Tutoring Program

Tutoring Center

East Stroudsburg University students who receive tutoring are more likely to continue their education at ESU than those who don’t. They are also more likely to earn As and Bs in their courses for which they receive tutoring.

That’s according to research in 2018 that looked at the effectiveness of ESU’s Tutorial Program for new first-time students and transfer students.

So, it’s all the more important that in June the ESU Tutorial Program received the highest level certification — Level III — from the College Reading & Learning Association, the professional development organization that sets rigorous standards for tutoring in higher education.
