Peer Tutoring
The AESS Learning Assistance Center offers both In-Person and Online Tutoring for all undergraduate UC students. These individualized learning sessions are held at our office in 2441 French Hall West. Sessions are one-on-one with a subject-specific tutor to answer the questions you pose in the session. Our dedicated tutors participate in ongoing training to equip them with strategies to support extended classroom learning. Tutoring is free of charge, and students may register using the links at the top of this page.
The LAC offers tutoring in more than 400 courses including subjects such as math, science, languages, business, and writing. If you notice your desired course is not offered, please let us know.
CRLA Certification
The AESS Peer Tutoring program has received the Level 1 International Tutor Training Program Certification from the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). CRLA is "a group of student-oriented professionals active in the fields of reading, learning assistance, developmental education, tutoring, and mentoring at the college/adult level" (http://www.crla.net/about/index.htm).
The ITTPC has two main purposes:
- It provides recognition and positive reinforcement for tutors' successful work from an international organization, CRLA.
- CRLA's tutor certification process sets an internationally accepted standard of skills and training for a program to certify their tutors.
(http://www.crla.net/ittpc/about_itpc.htm)
During the 2011-2012 academic year, the AESS Learning Assistance Center certified 20 tutors who had met the Level 1 Certified Tutor requirements.
