What is Learning Support Services? It is UCSC's undergraduate tutoring center! Serving over 3000 students per quarter and employing 150 undergraduate students as successful, certified tutors each year. As we kick off Fall Quarter, I want to share information with you about their Tutoring and Academic Success programs!
Tutoring is Available for 120+ Classes this Spring Quarter!
Sign-ups begin Friday, October 3rd @ 12pm & Sessions start Sunday, October 5th. Some student groups receive initial access and can sign up starting Wednesday, October 1st @ 12pm.
Sign up on TutorHub.
Interested in tutoring, but the class is not supported? We have other programs that work to support students:
Serves students with math questions in the following subjects, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and vector calculus. (The tutors are math majors and may have the capacity to tutor higher levels of math)
Students are encouraged to work with other students who may be in the same class or can work individually. The tutor roams the room checking in on students individually and providing support.
Serves students with any writing work (assignment or personal) they encounter.
Students will have access to 30-minute meetings with a writing tutor who is trained to help students become better writers, not edit.
45-minute workshops that teach students the tools to be successful at UCSC. The topics in the workshop are science-backed best practices for effective, durable learning!
Topics include Study Skills, Goal Setting, Productive Struggle, Note-Taking, Understanding your Syllabus, and Time Management
The coaching program connects interested students with peer coaches. In those private, one-on-one meetings, students can reflect on their experience at UCSC, learn new study strategies, and get connected to resources and opportunities.
