Welcome to the Learning Lab!

Located on the main floor of the Reta E. King library, we offer tutoring and peer mentoring.

Tutoring & Peer Mentoring

Tutoring is available for most Math, Biology, Chemistry, Writing, and Speech classes. Peer Mentoring is available in the Learning Lab to help you succeed at college.

Need to get organized, find motivation, or just have a chat? Peer mentors are here for you. Appointments are recommended.

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) Leaders

Supplemental instruction offers students extra time to study for a specific class with a PASS Leader. See our website for updated days and times.

Self-Help Resources
Sometimes you need help at 2:00am, have a quick question, or could use a video that offers a clear explanation. In times like these, it helps to know what resources are available.

- Writing
The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is the go-to resource for college writing information. It is what our tutors use, and it should be one of your bookmarked pages. Also, review CSC's Turnitin Support for students.

- Math
Our tutors recommend Symbolab Math Solver, which solves math problems step-by-step. One note though, this isn't to be used to do your homework, rather it should be used to learn how to work through math problems. Mathway is another site to help you work through math problems. It has a variety of online calculators for any class.

- Chemistry
The Dynamic Periodic Table is great for learning and exploring the elements. Sort, select, and search the various elements.

General Resources
At the Learning Lab, we cannot recommend the Khan Academy highly enough. It is free to sign up, and each subject is divided into easily consumable, short lessons, videos, and practices. What started as one man tutoring his cousin, using YouTube videos, has become one of the best academic resources for students and teachers. While it is primarily geared towards math students and high school students, there is a lot of information available. We recommend reviewing the following subjects:

Math | Physics | Chemistry
Grammar | Economics | Biology

Test Prep (Praxis, MCAT, LSAT, etc.)

CrashCourse is a YouTube channel that was initially recommended as an excellent history resource (which it is), but the channel also includes informative videos on literature, biology, ecology, chemistry, and more.
