Why should I go to tutoring?

In American academic culture, tutoring is an expected, normal part of studying at a university. Our tutors want to help you achieve academic success by guiding you through assignments and providing you with valuable resources and materials you may use for future independent study. Visiting the LRC is an important part of the success of every INTO UAB student and a critical part of your success at UAB.

What kinds of one-on-one or group tutoring are available?

Content area specialists are available for all INTO UAB Pathway degree programs. These tutors help you navigate through your classroom lectures and assignments in small groups of no more than three or four students.

English language tutors are able to help you with any area of fluency – listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar. English language tutoring is available to any non-native English speaker in the UAB family, including INTO UAB Students as well as degree-seeking UAB students, scholars, faculty, and employees.

We also offer tutoring by request for the following exams: TOEFL, IELTS, and GRE.

What types of workshops are available to INTO UAB students?

We offer in-person and online LRC workshops designed to help INTO UAB students with academic and cultural adjustment at the beginning of each semester.
