Educational Resource Center
The Educational Resource Center (ERC) offers support as you navigate BU’s rigorous academic environment. Their services are FREE to all BU students.
The ERC focuses on three main areas of skill building:
Academic Support
ERC Academic Support resources are open to both undergraduate and graduate students at BU. You can schedule a 30-minute Academic Coaching appointment, where you’ll meet with an ERC staff member one-on-one to collaboratively develop a personalized plan for your academic success. Or attend an Academic Skills Workshop, where you’ll learn new strategies to manage your time better, improve your study skills, read more effectively, and more.
Peer Tutoring
The ERC offers individual peer tutoring appointments as well as weekly drop-in tutoring sessions. Peer tutors are BU undergraduates who have excelled in a course and been recommended as a tutor by their faculty members.
The ERC Peer Tutoring program offers tutors for undergraduate (100-200 level) courses in a variety of subjects such as Chemistry, Economics, Math, and more.
Appointments book up quickly, so schedule in advance!
Writing Assistance
The ERC’s Writing Assistance program offers BU undergraduates and graduate students a supportive environment to develop their written communication skills. ERC Writing Fellows are graduate students with a strong background in effective writing who are trained to offer advice and strategies for your projects at any stage in the writing process. Both traditional and drop-in appointments are available!
