Welcome to ACE

ACE Tutors are current NDSU students who have earned high grades and professor recommendations in the classes they tutor. As a tutor, they must maintain high academic achievement throughout their employment and complete rigorous training to receive certification through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).

There are no additional costs associated with tutoring at ACE, so come often and stay as long as you want! To put this into perspective, private tutoring can range from $25-$45 per hour in the FM area.

Because our focus is on introductory classes, we certainly see many first- and second-year students, but we work with juniors and seniors too. ACE has had up to 5,000 student visits each year, making it one of the most popular on-campus resources. Additionally, we know that students who visit ACE regularly have higher GPAs than students who don't utilize tutoring, so don't be afraid to stop in. Our tutors have experience in the courses you are taking right now and look forward to visiting with you.

We tutor a wide variety of courses, but our most popular are math, chemistry, physics, and engineering courses. Our center covers 80+ classes overall including many of the 100 and 200 level pre-requisite classes. Our class list can help you see if your class is offered through our center, you can check inside of Bison Advise, or feel free to email us.

Our tutors work narrow bands of 100-200 level courses in order to focus on the highest-need classes and to let them leverage their greatest strengths. However, there's a good chance we have a tutor on staff who can help you if a course isn't listed. Please reach out to us if you find this issue. You can also always use Brainfuse, our 24/7 online tutoring system.

All appointments can be booked through Bison Advise. More detailed help is available in the file above.
