Instructor Resources
Learning is
Collaborative
Students benefit from both their instructors and our services.
The Learning Center is a free resource for your students to develop academic skills and increase comprehension. We offer educational opportunities to develop skills such as time management and study strategies for students through our academic success coaches. Our tutors help students break down challenging content to succeed in your courses.
How Do We Help?
Instead of requiring your students go to the Learning Center, refer students to our services; they are more likely to learn and accept help when they visit of their own accord.
Tutoring
Our tutors can help students improve their academic performance in a variety of subjects, like biology, math and writing.
Writing Support
We help students understand academic writing conventions and develop their writing process, including brainstorming, drafting and proofreading.
Workshops
Our academic success coaches conduct a workshop series that helps develop academic skills. Our learning center team members can also provide an "introduction to the learning center" so that students understand all the resources available to them.
Embedded Support for Your Courses
Embedded tutoring is where a peer tutor - usually a student who has recently been successful in the same course with the same instructor - regularly attends a section of a course to provide individualized attention and assistance during active learning activities, helps clarify course concepts, and motivates students' participation and engagement in the classroom. Embedded tutors also provide academic support outside of class time, such as 1-to-1 tutoring, group study hours, or test review sessions.
For more information, and for ideas for how an embedded tutor could be incorporated into your course, review the Instructor Guidebook.
