LSC/CAW tutors and staff work to promote active learning strategies, encourage student engagement, and provide content and skill support. Academic support is provided to students who are seeking assistance with understanding course concepts and preparing assignments, along with developing an improved learning system for college which includes motivation, academic engagement, brain-based habits for college learning, and learning strategies for note taking, textbook reading, and test taking.
LSC/CAW tutors are graduate and undergraduate students who are recommended by faculty in their programs. They are hired through a rigorous application process and on the basis of their own academic achievement and interpersonal and communication skills. Tutors participate in weekly training to learn how to support student learning.
