Tutoring
REACH (Resources for Academic Achievement)
Resources for Academic Achievement (REACH) is the university’s centralized academic support unit for undergraduate students. REACH conducts multiple services and programs from the Belknap Academic Building (BAB), Ekstrom Library, J.B. Speed School of Engineering, and the Miller Information Technology Building (MITC).
The Math Resource Center (BAB 241)
The Math Resource Center (MRC) offers drop-in tutoring to students enrolled in most 100- and 200-level mathematics courses. The tutors staffing the MRC are able to assist students by helping with homework questions, practice problems, and exam analysis. Resources include a mini-computer lab for Web-based instruction/math software, course textbooks, and solution manuals.
- Special Topics in College Mathematics (GEN 103/GEN 104) review Algebra content and math study strategies with curriculum specifically designed for entry-level UofL mathematics courses for STEM and non-STEM majors.
- Math Resource Center – ENGR 101, ENGR 102, ENGR 190
Academic and Leadership Center
Academic and Leadership Center (ALC) assists students with general campus technology related issues, specific coursework questions, test review sessions, and class tutoring sessions. The ALC offers tutoring for upper level engineering courses in the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms, as well as a quiet place to study for any course.
Tutoring for Speed School students is offered online or in J.B. Speed 107.
