Office of Tutoring, Writing and Academic Support Services

The Center for Student Success is committed to providing high-quality tutoring and academic support services to students at Bloomfield College of Montclair State University. Through the Office of Tutoring, Writing, and Academic Support Services (OTWASS), students have access to a student-centered support hub that educates, coaches, and empowers them to achieve their academic goals.These services are included in the cost of tuition. 

OTWASS includes the Main Tutoring Center, Writing Center, Test Center, and a Group Study Hub. Our staff works collaboratively with faculty and staff to support students in becoming independent scholars and to further develop their academic skills and knowledge.

The Writing Center

The Writing Center's mission is to enable students to attain excellence in all forms and levels of writing during their college careers and, as a result, in their chosen professions. Consultants at the Writing Center utilize a student-centered approach and a collaborative process to help writers meet their writing goals. The ultimate goal of the Center is to help BCMSU students become conscientious, ethical, engaged, and independent writers and citizens.

The Writing Center is a supportive environment where writers at every level can develop their skills and help all forms of writing grow and flourish. We also provide assistance across all disciplines, including First-Year Writing, Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Nursing. All BCMSU faculty, student writers, and writing consultants are invited, free of charge, to collaborate in the broadening and deepening of writing practices.

We work with other departments on campus to support excellence in writing and are available to serve faculty and staff who wish to obtain assistance with their professional writing. Our services are completely drop-in; however, for specialized, content-specific, or study-support tutoring sessions, please email the front desk.

Tutoring Services

OTWASS offers free tutoring services to all Bloomfield College of Montclair State University students. Our professional staff and peer tutors take a holistic, student-centered approach designed to support academic success and student growth.

The Main Tutoring Center provides academic support in a variety of subjects, including mathematics, science, business, economics, and accounting. Tutoring services are offered by peer tutors who have demonstrated strong academic achievement in these disciplines and are currently pursuing their undergraduate degrees. In addition, professional tutors with extensive field experience, including nursing professionals, are available to support both pre-nursing (undecided nursing) and nursing students. Through individualized guidance and subject-specific expertise, our tutors are committed to helping students strengthen their understanding, build confidence, and achieve their academic goals.

All math and science tutoring sessions are offered on a drop-in basis and an appointment is not necessary.
