Tutoring and Learning Resources

EOP Tutoring

Learning Skills Center
2205 Dutton Hall
(530) 752-2013

The Learning Skills Center offers pre- and co-classes in mathematics and physics for EOP students. Pre-classes help prepare EOP students for the regular university class they usually take the following quarter. Co-classes provide supplementary instruction for EOP students enrolled in the regular class. The LSC offers pre-classes for Mathematics 16A, 21A and Physics 9A. The LSC also offers co-classes for the Mathematics 16 and 21 series and the Physics 9 series. All pre-classes carry three workload units and co-classes carry one workload unit. These units count toward minimum progress and financial aid eligibility, but do not count toward graduation.

Tutoring is a free service available to students. If you are having difficulty with your course work or just want to improve your grades, the Learning Skills Center offers tutoring in many course areas. Tutoring is provided in pre-arranged groups and one-to-one and on a drop-in basis. 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.
