Learning Center
The Brooklyn College Learning Center (LC) provides peer tutoring in accordance with national best practices that empower students to cultivate the skills and behaviors of confident, independent, and lifelong learners. With support from the Office of Institutional Research and Data Analysis and ongoing oversight from the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, the LC designs relevant interventions for need areas to further Brooklyn College's efforts to stimulate student-driven learning as well as increase retention rates and on-time graduation.
Tutoring Schedule
In keeping with the recent shift to reintroducing some on-campus services, the Learning Center will be operating based on a hybrid modality for the Fall 2021 semester with both online and in-person tutoring services. While the procedures for online tutoring imposed from Spring 2020 to now remain in place, the Learning Center has instituted new policies, in compliance with those mandated by CUNY/Brooklyn College, for in-person services (outlined below) to ensure the safety of both staff and students.
In-person tutoring at the Learning Center’s 1300 Boylan Hall location will be conducted on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10:00am to 4:00pm EST and on Thursdays from 10:00am to 5:00pm EST. For specific days and times for each subject offered, please consult the Learning Center’s In-Person Tutoring Schedule. In order to guarantee access to in-person tutoring services, all rules and regulations outlined on our schedule as well as those communicated and posted by Brooklyn College must be strictly adhered to; no exceptions will be allowed. Failure to follow these rules and regulations will result in forfeiture of your appointment(s). Please note that the Learning Center follows the Brooklyn College Academic Calendar and, therefore, observes all conversion days, holidays, and campus closures.
Online tutoring will still be conducted via Zoom. For anyone who might be unfamiliar, Zoom is a cloud-based online platform for video and audio conferencing that incorporates chat features, as well as file-sharing capabilities, to allow individuals and groups to replicate in-person communication in a virtual environment. At this time, we invite all students interested in receiving online tutoring to familiarize themselves with the Zoom platform by visiting Zoom's support page.
Writing Tutors
- To work with a writing tutor, you must read and follow these Online Writing Tutoring Student Instructions (pdf) on how to access this service.
- All requests to work with a writing tutor must be sent via e-mail and contain the information outlined in the Online Writing Tutoring Student Instructions. You must follow these directions each time you wish to make an appointment. Any requests for writing appointments that do not follow these guidelines will receive a reply asking for the aforementioned information, which will result in unnecessary delays and will curtail our ability to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are no exceptions to this requirement regardless of how many times you have worked with our tutors before
Subject Tutors
- To work with a subject tutor, read these Online Subject Tutoring Student Instructions (pdf) on how to access this service.
- The schedule and all relevant information for each tutoring session can be found on the Online Zoom Tutoring Schedule (pdf).
In order to take full advantage of Zoom's features and our online tutoring sessions, it is recommended that you work from a desktop or laptop computer that has audio/visual capabilities. While the webcam features associated with Zoom are not necessary for the tutoring sessions, tutors will be making use of screen-sharing, file sharing, and virtual whiteboards to enhance the quality of their sessions.
For further information and updates, check this website periodically, as our schedule is subject to change.
