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 ongoing oversight from the Provost 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 light of recent circumstances and Brooklyn College's move to distance learning, the Learning Center has officially transitioned to online tutoring for the remainder of the semester. Starting Wednesday, March 25, online tutoring for some courses in mathematics, chemistry, CIS, and writing will be available via the Zoom platform. In the coming days, we hope to further expand our online offerings to include many more of the courses that the Learning Center typically offers.

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.

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.
