How does ASLA help?

Conceptual learning.

“The study group helped me solidify concepts we had learned in class — and the leader was very kind and always asked us how we were or if we needed any extra help.”

— Adam Wiseman, '27

Supportive peer leaders.

“The drop-in peer tutors were always happy to help and were beyond patient and kind. 10/10 experience!”

— Cessa Lewis '27

People who listen.

“My favorite aspect of the consultation was the back and forth. Instead of presenting a generic set of strategies, they listened to my process and gave me ways to tweak how I work.”

— Nisema Dikeni, '29
