About the Center for Academic Excellence

At the heart of the Center for Academic Excellence is our commitment to peer-led success. All of our tutoring and writing services are provided entirely by fellow students who have excelled in their own coursework and are trained to support their peers.

The CAE offers writing consultations to support writing projects at any stage of the writing process for any class or discipline. We also provide subject-area tutoring for undergraduate courses in math, sciences, and more. To ensure accessibility for all students, sessions take place in person on the second floor of the Marx Library and online via Zoom. Additionally, the CAE offers guided study sessions, academic workshops, and other specialized programs designed to support your academic success.

For our clients: This means learning in a comfortable, relatable environment from someone who understands the current challenges of being a student at USA.

For our prospective tutors and assistants: This offers a unique opportunity to build leadership skills, master your subject matter, and give back to the campus community.

Whether you are seeking help to ace your next exam or looking to join our professional team, the CAE thrives on the power of peer-to-peer connection.

Our leadership team is comprised of dedicated professionals who are proud graduates of the University of South Alabama. Their firsthand experience as Jaguars informs every aspect of the Center's mission, as both began their professional journeys supporting student success on this campus.

Together, they strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment for everyone who walks through our doors—whether they are a client seeking help or a student staff member looking to grow professionally. Our leadership firmly believes that learning can be fun and that asking for help should never feel like a punishment. At the CAE, we view seeking assistance as a proactive step toward excellence and work to make the experience as welcoming and empowering as possible.
