Learning Assistance in The Learning Center

Learning Assistance (LA) provides tutoring and resources to help you keep up, catch up or get ahead. You may visit LA in Room 211 in Building 920 on Main Campus, in Room 226 on Palmer Campus or the Library on Berkeley Campus. You may make appointments for one-to-one or small group tutoring in English, math and most sciences. Sometimes, LA has tutors for other courses. Check the schedules of available tutors on each campus at the beginning of each semester. You may join a study group, participate in a walk-in Math and Science Center (on Main Campus) or view videotapes that support your math courses. Pick up a schedule for the weekly math groups that meet at various times.

During the first two weeks of each semester, the LA staff offers calculator workshops for math students using TI-34 II, TI-36X, TI-83, and TI-84 calculators. Ask the LA receptionist on each campus for exact dates and locations. You will also find videotapes on the use of these calculators and special handouts on "How Do I Use My Calculator?"

LA also has videotapes and computer and CD tutorials to assist you in math, English, biology, and other courses. You may use computers to access the Internet for research and to type and print your course papers. Writing consultants in The Writing Center can assist you with writing assignments and research papers, and they can also help with specific topics, such as using MLA and APA documentation, how to address a writing task and how to recognize errors in grammar and punctuation. You may schedule an appointment with a writing consultant for one-to-one assistance, or you may attend a small group workshop session. Ask the LA receptionist for schedules of workshops and available appointment times.  The Writing Center also offers informational handouts and print resources to help improve your writing skills. Consultants in LA can also assist you with using your TTC Express, WebCT and college e-mail accounts. See the LA receptionist for a schedule of appointment times.
