Services
At the Center:
The Learning Center offers free, walk-in tutoring to all Hanover students. Its trained peer tutors also establish semester- and year-long mentoring relationships with undergraduates who want more intensive assistance. Tutors offer help on both writing and speaking assignments. They provide advice on brainstorming, organizing and focusing topics, developing research skills, honing finished projects, and improving grammar, word useage, and oral presentation skills.
Around Campus:
Peer tutors are available to visit residence halls and classrooms to provide help with particular writing and speaking skills or to lead critiques of particular assignments. You can also access a variety of learning resources on the Center's web site: learningcenter.hanover.edu
