SMART Space

The SMART Space (Study Mentors and Resource Tutors) is Champlain’s Academic Support Center. Although we are usually located on the 2nd floor of Miller Information Commons, all of our services will be virtual in Spring of 2021. Peer tutors offer free reserved tutoring appointments in Programming, Writing, English Language Learning, Math, Accounting and Finance, Digital Forensics, and Cybersecurity each week. Professional Academic Coaches are available to work one-on-one with students on goal setting, time management, study skills, using Canvas, and navigating the demands of college life. We also offer a series of helpful online workshops. For more information, or to sign up for a tutoring session, coaching visit, or one of our academic workshops, please see our website or email smartspace@champlain.edu.

The SMART Space will be open for tutoring starting on Sunday, January 31, 2021.

4:00- 8:00 p.m. Sunday - Thursday

12:00-8:00 p.m. Wednesdays - Extended Hours!

Check trac.champlain.edu for the most up to date hours and tutor availability.

At this time, it can be easy to feel isolated and it might be fun to connect with a student who is a junior or senior at Champlain to ask questions and learn more about the opportunities available, even during Covid times. Our tutors would be happy to meet with our students to provide additional support.

If your student would like to connect with a tutor to learn more about a major you are thinking about changing or which classes to take next semester, a leadership position you'd like more information about, or any other topic, sign up for a time to visit using trac.champlain.edu.
