Peer Tutoring

The Peer Tutoring program enhances student success in coursework across the curriculum by providing concentrated, one-on-one intervention for stuggling students in need of extra academic support. Peer Tutors serve as role models of motivation and success, while simultaneously reinforcing their own learning.

THE LEARNING CENTER IS FOR EVERYONE. OUR DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN TO FACULTY, STAFF, AND MOST OF ALL, TO STUDENTS OF EVERY MAJOR AND GRADE LEVEL .
Math & Science Center

The Math & Science Center Assistants offer one-on-one sessions to help students succeed in their math courses through calculus, and their 100-level science courses. The tutors can also help with math and science content in other courses.

The Writing Center helps students to grow as writers, enhancing the quality of their written work in every discipline. Through one-on-one sessions with the Center Director and student Writing Consultants, students grow in their understanding of the writing process, develop their ability to apply the process to all their written work, increase their understanding of the conventions of writing, and develop their ability to adhere to standard written English.
