Tutoring and Academic Support

College Skills

The Center for Academic Advancement (formerly College Skills) provides courses for students who need the opportunity to reinforce their skills in reading comprehension, vocabulary and grammar proficiency, and basic writing.  The Center also supports a laboratory that offers students intensive work in the academic skills necessary to succeed in college.  Enrollment in these courses is determined by performance on a placement test administered and evaluated by our center.

The Center is an academic support service that offers tutorial assistance for all Marymount Manhattan students.   We offer tutoring in all academic subjects, and pride ourselves on providing one-on-one support for students in need.

The Center is also the main source of placement testing in the College.   We offer a variety of tests in English and Mathematics in order to place students properly to ensure achievement.  

The Center for Academic Advancement, located in Nugent 451 and 462, offers free tutoring in all subject areas to all Marymount students. If you are interested, please come to Nugent 451 and complete a tutor request form. 

In addition to tutoring by appointment, the Center is offering walk-in tutoring; no appointment is necessary. The tutoring center operating hours are: Mondays, Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.and Fridays, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.


It is our mission to provide these services in any reasonable manner in order to secure student futures.  Our main objective is to assure each student who passes through our doors that they can and will succeed in college.
