ULC interns will tutor students in French courses. The University Learning Center cultivates the lifelong learning potential of UNCW students. We provide programs and services that support students as they develop independent learning strategies, personal responsibility, intellectual maturity, transferable skills, and a respect for diverse learning experiences.
Learning Services tutors are uniquely able to "de-center" traditional teaching approaches in order to focus on student learning. That is, rather than learning taking place in a classroom setting with a dominant "voice of authority," tutors are able to work with students on their learning goals in a non-evaluative (and so, non-threatening and non-punitive) setting.
Tutors are able to empathize with student anxieties and apprehensions while showing them that even class assignments (aimed at a group) provide opportunities for individual learning. While conducting tutoring sessions, tutor often learn as much, albeit on a different level, as the tutees. In addition, the interpersonal skills that tutors develop during their time in the ULC are valuable for any career they eventually choose.
