Student Accessibility and Academic Resources (StAAR) Center

The StAAR Center offers academic support through one-on-one academic success coaching, writing consultations, and tutoring, along with group programs and workshops. The StAAR Center also supports students with documented disabilities to ensure access to their Tufts experiences. Our programs promote engaged, collaborative learning that builds on students’ strengths while addressing their concerns and questions.

Academic Success Coaching

We work with graduate and undergraduate students to develop academic skills, habits, and mindsets for success at any point in their Tufts experience. We meet one-on-one with students to develop and improve executive functioning skills, set and work towards goals, and navigate academic life.

Peer Tutoring

Peer Tutors support students taking introductory and intermediate courses in the natural sciences, mathematics, economics, and foreign languages. Our tutors are trained peer leaders who assist their fellow undergraduates in becoming independent learners.

Writing Support

We work with undergraduate and graduate student writers at any stage of the writing process and for any academic writing project. We strive to provide a supportive environment for you to discuss your ideas, develop your voice as a writer, and engage in a robust process of drafting and revision.

Accessibility and Accommodations

We work with students with documented disabilities to implement accommodations for academics, housing, transportation, and dining. Through an interactive process, our Accessibility Specialists work individually with students to develop solutions that address their access concerns and honor their unique experiences with their disability.
