The ERC provides academic support programs to the Boston University community. We work with students across colleges and disciplines, helping them meet their academic goals and excel in their studies.

The ERC offers Peer Tutoring, the Writing Center, Language Link conversation groups, Organic Chemistry Preparatory Course (Orgo Prep), Workshops, and the Contingent Aid Program. The ERC professional staff is also available to meet with students individually to develop a personalized plan for academic success and/or to assist them in developing specific skills. These services are free and can benefit all students who are interested in improving their academic performance. In addition, the ERC manages the Freshman and Transfer Resource Advisor Program for the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).

Requesting a Peer Tutor

The ERC makes every effort to complete tutor assignments within 7 business days of receiving the tutoring request (subject to availability of tutors).

For example, if you place your request on January 21st, your request will be processed by January 30th.

If you are interested in obtaining a tutor, please come to the ERC and complete the registration and request process.
