Northwest Nazarene University Tutor Directory

NNU tutors are available for NNU students. If you are looking for some support in other areas such as SAT, MCAT, or K-12, see our Off-Campus Resources below. Also, Crash Course has many playlists that cover subjects with more visuals and explanations that can help. 

Tutors are available in a wide variety of subjects as a service to NNU undergraduate students who are currently enrolled in NNU classes. NNU students may schedule tutors at no cost. Tutoring is available in-person and online. See the calendars below. If you need tutoring on a subject that is not listed, contact your department to see if a T/A is available, or stop by CASA to ask about tutors. If no tutor is available, try the Feynman Technique with 1-2 other students from your class. 

If you are interested in becoming a tutor at NNU, please fill out the Tutor Application.

Study Resources

Pomodoro Timer | Free SVG

Limit your study time. Put a fence around it so it does not get out of hand.

Open-ended study times or cramming can be unproductive and divide your attention. 

Try the Pomodoro Technique (tomato timer).

Put your distractions away and focus for one to three 25-minute study chunks with 5-minute breaks in between. 

Online Pomodoro timers:

Video of how to use the Pomodoro Technique

Plan your study throughout your week. You never will eat all your meals for the semester the first time you visit the DEX or cram them all in on the last day because you still have meals on your meal plan.  You need to eat a few times a day. Think of your study like that. Chunk your study time so you are actively recalling the information over time allowing for more long-term memory. 

Need a weekly schedule to plan with? Try this Daily/Weekly Schedule in Excel.

Also, visit CASA for a Semester-At-A-Glance to put all your tests, papers, and major assignments from all your classes on one page. Use colors to help you see each class. This will help you see your weekly priorities.
