UMW Learning Center



The Learning Center, located in the basement of the Library, provides several types of tutorial services which are free to all Western students. Services include peer tutoring for a particular subject and organized study groups.

Learning center services can also aid the student to:

  • organize and locate resources
  • improve writing and editing skills
  • format papers
  • practice oral presentations or note taking skills
  • learn to correctly cite reference sources

The center also hosts a number of workshops throughout each semester.


The Learning Center encourages all students to drop in at the beginning of each block and obtain a tutor schedule for the subject they are studying. The block is an intensive style of learning so it is important to seek aid in the beginning of the block.


Peer tutoring by other students as well as community members is offered during the day, late afternoon and some evenings to better fit the student schedule. Students may call
683-7200 or drop in Lower Library Commons (LLC) 006 to schedule an appointment.
