Looking for academic support for you or your student?

Tierney Education helps students build the skills, habits, and understanding they need to succeed in college and beyond.

If you or your student could use some extra support this semester, Tierney Education is here to help.

We work with students through:

📚 Private Tutoring — Get help understanding difficult course material and preparing for exams.

📅 Academic Coaching — Build better habits around organization, time management, studying, and staying on top of everything.

🎓 Career Coaching — Get help with resumes, internships, interviews, and figuring out what comes next.

One thing we've learned from working with hundreds of students: it's much easier to get ahead of a problem than dig out of one later in the semester.

Tell us a little about what you're looking for, and our team will follow up:

Located at 133 Bluebell Rd in University Park, the Pantry receives support from donated funds, donations from an Amazon Wish List and funding from the Penn State Student Fee Board.
