The Learning Resources Center provides academic support for
students on the Staten Island Campus of St. John’s
University. Free tutoring, not limited to remedial
instruction, is available in diverse areas of study including
Mathematics, Computers, Legal Studies, Statistics, Accounting,
Finance, Philosophy, Theology, Psychology, Literature and Foreign
Language.
Workshops
Each semester the Learning Resources Center sponsors a Reading
Workshop to help students apply critical and interpretive reading
techniques to college coursework.
Throughout the semester the LRC offers additional workshops as
the demand dictates. Our past workshops have been collaborative
projects with other departments and have included:
- Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism
- Learning Styles
- MLA & APA Documentation Style
- Improving Organizational and Study Skills
- Resume Writing Clinic
Writing Center
The Learning Resources Center also serves as the Writing Center for
students on the Staten Island Campus. We offer assistance in
all aspects of the writing process including brainstorming,
researching, revising, editing and proofreading. Grammar and
mechanics of writing can also be addressed. Our tutors will
assist writers with the proper formats for MLA and APA
documentation.
Study Day
Each semester our efforts culminate in Study Day. On the date
designated by the University as the semester Study Day, the LRC
provides numerous individual and group review sessions to help
prepare students for final examinations. The entire tutoring staff
is available to assist students throughout the
day.
Our staff is comprised of 14 peer tutors, Mrs. M. Fama,
Administrative Assistant, and Prof. M. Haley, the
Director.
