About Us

The Learning Centers support and enrich student learning through free services for students seeking to enhance their academic careers. Housed in the Office of the Provost at Rutgers-New Brunswick, the Learning Centers also partner with faculty and staff who are interested in learning new instructional strategies or developing additional methods of support for their students. To accomplish these goals, we offer a variety of support services: 

Academic Support

  • Peer Tutoring is available in two forms. Walk-in group tutoring is available on all campuses and one-on-one tutoring is available through our partnership with the SAS Honors Program.
  • Academic Coaching is a comprehensive service for students who want to improve their academic and self-management skills, such as time management, critical thinking, and study skills. 
  • Writing Tutoring supports writers in a variety of disciplines and a range of courses. Our coaches meet individually with students about brainstorming topics, organizing ideas, formulating a thesis, structuring paragraphs, and developing an argument.
  • Study Group leaders review course material with students and integrate study strategies—note taking, problem solving, and test preparation—that link course content with cognitive skill development.
  • Reserved Course Materials are available at each center.

Professional Development Opportunities for Students

  • Employment Opportunities offer students professional development, leadership experience, and flexible hours.
  • Peer Leader Training is available to University programs upon request and addresses leadership & communication skills, group management techniques, content training, and more.
