Tutoring and Learning Center

At Cal Poly, we believe you already have what it takes to succeed, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. That’s why the former Writing and Learning Center and Academic Skills Center have come together as the new Tutoring & Learning Center (TLC), your one-stop hub for academic support. From your first quarter through graduation, you’ll find tutoring, academic coaching, study sessions, and supplemental workshops designed to help you grow academically, personally, and professionally.

Come visit us and give your academics a little “tlc”! 

You can also explore our online Study Strategies Library, a collection of resources to help you strengthen your skills and thrive at Cal Poly.

 

Academic Coaching        Tutoring Services Study Sessions Supplemental Workshops
Academic coaches are trained peers who help students build skills and habits for success, including goal setting, time management, exam prep, and effective communication. Peer-to-peer tutoring is available across all six colleges in subjects like writing, math, science, and engineering. Students can book appointments or drop in for one-on-one or small-group sessions, offered both in person and online. Study Sessions create a collaborative space for students in STEM courses to review material, discuss concepts, and strengthen understanding with guidance from experienced peer leaders. Supplemental Workshops are one-unit, peer-led sessions tied to challenging math and science courses. Students meet weekly to practice course concepts through guided activities and collaborative learning.
