For Learning Services Tutors

Learning Services is administered by the Division of Student Affairs, and we are housed, along with the Writing Center, the Math Lab, Study Skills, and Supplemental Instruction, in the University Learning Center. We are partnered with these programs as the primary location on campus for academic assistance outside the traditional classroom.

Learning Services has a tradition of being a student-centered program. We have grown because of our thoroughly dedicated staff, excellent administrative support, and because we have established a pattern of sensitivity to the changing needs of students at UNCW. We offer tutoring support in all University Studies classes to all UNCW students. We have provided learning tutoring & Study Skills consultations since 1994 and average almost 4000 appointments each year.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. -Aristotle

It is essential that we make our operation as comfortable as possible for students who come to us for help. The atmosphere of the University Learning Center should be friendly, interested, and understanding of both the importance of learning and the difficulty of asking for help. Many students have the mistaken impression that our services are only remedial. We like to stress the fact that most of the students who utilize our services already make good grades and want to improve their understanding.

The following statement is an effective way to promote the ULC to both tutees and the UNCW community:

ULC tutoring is not remediation. The ULC offers a different type of learning opportunity for students who want to increase the quality of their learning.
