Free Tutoring on the Staten Island Campus

O! This Learning What a thing it is!”

The Learning Resources Center, within the Division of Academic Support Services, was established in 1997 as part of a University wide effort to increase academic support. Our goal is to assist students in becoming active learners.  We are open to all who wish to improve their academic skills and ability to learn.  The tutors of the LRC strive to enrich the St. John’s academic environment by engaging students in study outside of the classroom.

The Learning Resources Center provides free peer tutoring in varied academic areas including: Math, Calculus with Business Applications, Accounting, Management, Finance, Statistics, Philosophy, Theology, History, Speech, Psychology, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Science Inquiry  

Our Center provides help in computer skills including Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.  We also offer support in basic organizational and study skills. Individual as well as small group tutoring is available. Special study groups in core classes are offered to Freshmen students.  

The LRC offers guided assistance in content reading to help students apply critical and interpretive comprehension techniques to college coursework. Each semester we facilitate STUDY DAY Review Sessions for specific courses in preparation for final examinations.  Let our staff help you to succeed.  We are committed to academic excellence.
