The Learning Center - Located in Room 223

The Learning Center opens Monday, February 4 for the Spring 2008 semester. Stop in to study or receive tutoring help in Mathematics, English, and other subjects based on student need.

The Learning Center offers free tutoring for all students currently enrolled at UW-Washington County. Tutoring is designed to help students help themselves through student interaction.  The goal is to enhance student learning outside of the classroom setting.

Interested in being a paid tutor?  Please contact Laurell (Laurie) Kuehn in Student Services phone (262)335-5201 or email.

Come prepared:

• Bring all relevant materials to the tutoring session including textbooks, syllabus, class notes, past papers, assignments and/or tests.

• Plan to be an active participant in your session with the tutor.

• Academic success requires that you attend class, read assignments, take class notes, and attempt homework problems.

What courses can a student receive tutoring?

• English 098, 101, 102 and all general writing needs

• Math 091, 105, 108, 110, 113, 124, 211, 221, 222

• All other subjects based on student need

Tutors are available on a walk-in basis.  If there is a particular tutor you would like to meet with, an appointment time can be scheduled. The Learning Center encourages students to utilize the space for individual study time and group study sessions, as well as attending any workshops that might be offered.

Expectations:

• Tutors are NOT homework machines or miracle workers.

• Tutors will NOT have the answer to every question all the time.

• Tutors are NOT the professor of your class.

• If you procrastinate all semester, working and cramming with a tutor the week before finals will NOT produce great results.
