The Michael L. Jeffries, Sr. Center for Access and Academic Success (formerly know as OMSA)
For Spring 2025, the Jeffries Center’s Tutoring and Academic Services will continue delivering services in person with some limited online availability. We offer free tutoring and academic services. Matched individualized tutoring, online self-paced workshops and academic skills coaching are among the services featured in the Jeffries Center Academic Services Program (ASP) located at 1103 W. Oregon, Suite E, Urbana, IL. Our services are designed to help students excel in college. As you have probably already noticed, college-level learning is different from what it was in high school. No matter how well you performed before attending Illinois, there is always room to hone your study skills.

You are encouraged to make the most of your tutoring and workshop session(s) by:
- Requesting a tutor at the beginning of the term before tutors’ work schedules are booked up.
- Come to each of your tutoring or workshop sessions prepared. Preparation includes having your textbooks, notes, and specific questions concerning the material. The more you prepare, the more you will get out of the session.
- Tutors do not serve as a substitute for our instructional faculty. Tutors will not "lecture" or "re-teach." They will provide strategies to help you improve your approach to mastering your course content. Tutoring is not a substitute for missed classes. If you miss class, make sure you get notes from a classmate and meet with your professor during office hours.
