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 or in Room 226 on Palmer Campus. Limited tutoring services may be available on Berkeley Campus (call 899-8087). 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 any time during the semester. You may join a study group, participate in the walk-in Math and Science Center (on Main Campus) or view  videotapes on the use of selected TI calculators and special handouts on "How Do I Use My Calculator?"

LA also has videotapes, handouts, 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 tutors 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, addressing a writing task and  recognizing errors in grammar and punctuation. You may schedule an appointment with a writing tutor for one-to-one assistance, or you may attend a small group 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. 

Helping others learn is a rewarding experience. If you excel in a subject such as math, biology, Spanish or chemistry, consider volunteering to be a peer tutor. To volunteer, come by one of the locations and fill out an application. Following your training, Learning Assistance matches you with a student in need of your assistance.

To schedule appointments or to volunteer, come to an LA learning lab or call Main Campus at 843.574.6409, Palmer Campus at 843.722.5516 or Berkeley Campus at 843.899.8079. All LA services are free of charge to currently enrolled TTC students.
