Academic Assistance
Feeling lost with the material? Unsure how to handle all the assignments? Struggling to sit down and study? MATANA offers various academic support services: learning strategy sessions, academic tutoring, a writing center for academic writing support, and English language assistance.
The MATNA staff offers learning strategy sessions aimed at helping you, the students, acquire and practice more effective study methods. In individual sessions, our expert advisors will personally tailor learning strategies to each student, adapting them to their individual and academic needs. The sessions are designed to improve independent learning ability and enhance academic success.
To coordinate strategy meetings, please contact us through the student information desk under the Matna Center tab.
Academic mentoring is academic support provided by outstanding students (with a GPA of 85 or higher) from the same faculty as the student requesting the mentoring. The mentor meets with the student to help them study the material covered in various courses as needed and to assist them in developing effective study skills.
Mentoring is personal and tailored to the specific needs of each student. It is intended for students who struggle with their studies, or who cope with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, disabilities, or complex medical conditions.
At Matna, we believe in supporting in-depth processes that enable meaningful and continuous learning. Therefore, the aim is to begin mentoring at the start of the semester and continue until the end of the exam period.
Accordingly, requests for mentoring should be submitted by mid-semester. We will find it difficult to respond to requests received at a later date. It should be emphasized that we will not be able to accommodate requests for individual mentoring that arrive close to the exam period.
Please note: Eligibility for the mentoring program and the number of hours will be determined by the MATANA team. We will make every effort to ensure that applicants receive this service, but we cannot guarantee that it will be possible.
Participation in the mentoring program involves a subsidized fee of 20 NIS per hour of mentoring.
Mentors receive a scholarship for these meetings, or recognition of their mentoring as social involvement.

During the semester, we may also offer group tutoring in specific courses, which is provided free of charge. We invite you to stay in touch and follow our announcements.
Writing is one of the central skills required during academic studies, but for many students, it constitutes a barrier and a particularly difficult challenge.
To that end, we have established a Writing Center at MATNA, designed to assist you with all aspects of academic writing assignments.
This service is intended solely for undergraduate students. It is provided on an individual basis on campus or via Zoom sessions and includes instruction on strategies for effective writing while adhering to the rules of academic writing, assistance with reading academic articles, and an introduction to AI tools for writing papers.

Several reference pages for effective writing are available to you:
Are you struggling with English studies?
Students with learning disabilities or difficulties in acquiring English, evidenced by repeated failures in exams of the same level, are invited to contact MATANA for tutoring sessions. These sessions are provided by experienced teachers specializing in instructing students with learning disabilities and language difficulties.
In addition, these students have the option to join an adapted English course. These adapted English courses replace a regular English course and are designed for students with language-based learning disabilities or those who have failed an English course at the same level twice. They are taught by English teachers experienced in learning disabilities and in relatively small groups.
A request must be submitted to the Student Dean's Office (Matna) to receive approval for participation in an adapted course. Participation requires a payment of 1000 NIS per course.
