Instructor Resources
Learning is
Collaborative
Students benefit from both their instructors and our services.
The Learning Center is a free resource for your students to develop academic skills and increase comprehension. Our tutors help students break down challenging content to succeed in your courses.
Refer Your Students
Instructor referrals are a great way to introduce students to the Learning Center. Students are most likely to follow through on a referral when they receive specific instructor feedback and have a clear goal they can achieve with our support. We encourage you to refer individual students rather than requiring all students to make an appointment.
Tutoring
Our tutors can help students improve their academic performance in a variety of subjects, like biology, chemistry, and math.
Writing Support
We help students understand academic writing conventions and develop their writing process, including brainstorming, drafting and proofreading.
Peer Mentoring
If you have first-year or new-to-UWGB students, be sure to invite them to participate in our peer mentoring program, Phoenix Life-Off, a first-semester success series.
Embedded Support
Strengthening Tutor-Student Connections
Embedded tutoring is where a peer tutor regularly attends a section of a course to provide individualized attention and assistance during active learning activities, helps clarify course concepts, and motivates students' participation and engagement in the classroom. Embedded tutors also provide academic support outside of class time, such as 1-to-1 tutoring, group study hours, or test review sessions.
For more information, and for ideas for how an embedded tutor could be incorporated into your course, review the Instructor Guidebook.
Brainfuse Instructor Resources
Instructors have access to the Brainfuse Faculty dashboard, which allows you to assign tutoring to individual students or your entire class and monitor engagement.
