Center for Academic Excellence

Center for Academic Excellence (CAE)

The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) provides students at Durham Tech with the academic support they need to be successful. CAE tutors and staff strive to do the following:

Provide students with an alternative learning environment outside of the classroom for individualized tutoring and small group tutoring sessions.
Empower students to be proactive in achieving their academic successes and to challenge them to become independent and critical thinkers by modeling effective examples of clear communication.
Collaborate with colleagues inside and outside the CAE to share best practices in tutoring, academic support, and general higher education.
