Learning Assistance

Our Goal

Our goal is to help students develop their learning skills to help them take a proactive approach to their courses, discover their particular learning style, and develop their critical thinking skills, through tutoring, coaching, and mentoring. We believe that each of these skills are necessary in each student becoming an independent learner.
