Personalized Help - 30-Minute Online Appointments

Appointments with Learning Strategists are available online through Google Hangouts Meet.

Google Hangouts Meet not only allows the Learning Strategist and the student to see and hear one another, but it also allows for screen sharing. The Strategist can share their screen with the student, and vice versa.

Book your appointment online (see details below), and you will receive a confirmation email with instructions for how to access the online meeting.
