TUTORING AND LEARNING RESOURCES

EOP Tutoring

EOP tutoring is a free service for EOP students. If you are having difficulty with your course work, the Learning Skills Center offers tutoring in many course areas. Tutoring is provided in groups and on a drop-in basis. For students in academic difficulty, a limited amount of one-to-one tutoring is also available. Although primary emphasis is on the assignments in your classes, tutorial services may also be used to improve study habits and learning skills. The tutoring program is staffed by students carefully selected for both their knowledge of course content and their sensitivity to the needs of students being tutored.

The LSC library contains a variety of programmed instructional materials, reference books, preparation materials for the GRE, MCAT and LSAT exams, and a file of course examinations given in past quarters. Most materials may be checked out.

Under certain circumstances, the center also provides individual tutoring sessions for students on academic probation or subject to dismissal. Group and drop-in tutoring is available to all students. Come in and ask about our services, which are free to all UC Davis students.

Freshman EOP students admitted by special action are expected to participate in the Special Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP). Selected regularly admitted EOP students are encouraged to do so. The program begins in summer and continues through the first academic year, providing preparatory course work and developing academic skills. It helps students adjust academically and socially to the campus by strengthening their learning skills and study habits, and by providing an extensive orientation to campus life.
