Drexel Learning Center Department Based Tutoring

Drexel Academic Departments organize tutoring sessions for a variety of courses. For the LeBow's Business students, there are tutoring sessions for Acct 115&116, Acct 321, Statistics and Economics courses. See more information regarding location and hours at http://www.drexel.edu/provost/aard/resources-programs/dlc/tutoring/ .

For a list of tutoring sessions for non-business courses (Chemistry, Philosophy, CS, Engineering etc.), please visit the same link above. 

Drexel Writing Center

You can make appointments with faculty, peer readers or online appointments to help with writing assignments. Personally, I have used this resource many times in my freshmen and sophomore year, and they have been very helpful and thought-provoking to my essays. I strongly encourage you to visit the writing center by making a one-to-one appointment at DWC online system https://drexel.mywconline.com/ . If you are unavailable to meet them in person, you can schedule an online appointment by sending over your essay electronically and receives the comments in a few days.

Drexel English Learning Center

Drexel ELC offers one-on-one tutoring and language support for Drexel International Students. The topics include listening, speaking, reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary development and etc. This is free tutoring service, and again I strongly encourage you to visit their website for more information http://www.drexel.edu/elc/resources/academic_resources/language_support/ .

Math Resource Center

Math center helps all students who need assistance in Undergraduate Math courses, and provides tutoring sessions for all math courses.

Location: 2nd floor of the Korman Building in room 249.
Open Hours Spring 2013/2014: Monday to Thursday from 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Friday, starting the first day of classes and ending on Friday of the final week of classes.


Drexel Libraries 

The online library http://library.drexel.edu/  is great resource for scholarly works, book reviews and critic opinions for your projects or writing assignment. Please make use of these expensive databases that Drexel has spent tons of money on. If you are unfamiliar with searching process, you can do a quick online chat with the Drexel librarian.


Lastly, please do not forget your instructor, TAs and peer classmates are also excellent resources to assist your academic concerns. 

I wish the best of luck for your exams and project! Eat healthy and be strong.
