Services We Provide

Learning Services offers a variety of services to students to help meet the demands of college learning.  Peer tutors in specific courses help with comprehension of course material and test review.  Our Faculty Fellow and writing tutors help students develop into better writers.  We also have staff who assist students with time management, studying and note taking strategies, and preparation for exams.

Peer Tutors

More than 200 peer tutors are registered to help with more than 200 courses. Tutors are students who have earned an A or A- in a course, who have been recommended by their professors, and who attend on-going training. A list of current tutors is available in Learning Services.

Tutors are trained to help with course content as well as to share study strategies.  Students may sign up for tutors in Learning Services or call Learning Services at 361-1185.  The service is free for full-time students and $7.45 an hour for part-time students.
