Professional Advising

We recognize that success looks different to everyone and we help each student navigate Brandeis. Our team of professional advisors offer our scholars individualized support in academic, personal, career, graduate school, and financial literacy. We help students navigate Brandeis with guidance in course selection, major exploration, identifying your interests, skills and more.

Academic Support

We hire more than 20 Peer Tutors and Graduate Assistants to help you in writing, math, science, world languages, study skills and other challenging classes. Students in SSSP request tutors at the beginning of each semester, and they are matched with a peer who tutors them to their individualized needs and learning styles. This is done in a one-on-one, or small group session format.

Graduate Assistants of Writing Skills serve students during weekly office hours and individualized appointments to help them hone their writing skills and assist them throughout their writing process. Our Graduate Assistant of ESOL/ESL assists scholars whose native language is not English by providing specialized support in grammar, punctuation, structure, and everything in between!

This is a free service that can help you reach your fullest potential!
