The Learning Center will offer in-person peer tutoring in 159 Franco Building for the fall 2023 semester. Summer tutoring is not offered through the Learning Center at Penn State Berks.

We encourage all students to take responsibility when creating course schedules.

What if the Learning Center does not offer tutoring for the class that I need?
If the Learning Center doesn't offer tutoring services for the course in which you need support, see your instructor before or after class or during their office hours for additional assistance. You are also encouraged to form a study group with others in your class.
Sometimes, however, your struggle may not be content related, but with one or more of the following issues:
- Study skills
- Time management
- Reading
- Note taking
- Test anxiety
- Stress
If you feel you may need support in any of the above, please make an appointment to see Sonia Delaquito, learning center coordinator, at [email protected].
