Science & Mathematics Academic Resource & Tutorial (SMART) Center

FREE Tutoring:  The Science & Mathematics Academic Resource & Tutorial (SMART) Center offers free tutoring on the Armstrong campus by student tutors in Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, General and Organic Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, and Mathematics.  Appointments for in-person and virtual tutoring should be made through the EAB Navigate system.

Step-by-step instructions for making in-person and virtual tutoring appointments

If you have worked on a problem and would prefer to email a tutor to receive feedback on your steps, please create a pdf of your work and send it to mbrown@georgiasouthern.edu with your course number in the subject line.

More information about our services can be found at the SMART Center website.
