Tutoring Services
CMI Academic Support Program (ASP)
Mission
Our mission is to help and encourage students to achieve maximum academic success by guiding them to be proficient in their works while promoting independent learning. We also help students overcome any sorts of struggle they are facing in regards to their subjects such as English, Math, Information Computer Systems (ICS), and Major-focused courses such as Business, Education, and Nursing.
Tutoring provides an opportunity for students to engage in learning conversations that will clarify and increase comprehension of course material, develop test-taking and time management strategies, and improve study habits. ASP Tutoring is a welcoming, inclusive space for students to connect, ask questions, prepare for exams, and have support on assignments or homework.
Our tutoring services are free to CMI students. We offer individual and/or group tutoring. Continue reading and exploring our pages for more information.
COVID Updates - September 19, 2022
Wearing masks is now a matter of individual choice. However, if you have symptoms of flu, or a cold or cough, wearing a mask stops the spread of viruses to others. We encourage everyone to continue maintaining good hand washing and hand sanitizing practices.
We have online tutoring available if you are not comfortable coming to in-person tutoring. Check below for more information.

What students need to know:
Tutoring works when you've already attempted the assignment or homework on your own! Otherwise, your tutor won't know how to help you.
Bring your textbook, assignments and/or assignment sheets, study guides, past homework, etc., with you to tutoring. Come prepared with questions. The more context your tutor has, the more effective the process will be.
Don't bring a take-home exam! Tutors may not assist you with in-progress exams or quizzes. They can, however, help you understand academic dishonesty or what was wrong on graded tests or homework/assignment.
