Welcome to the Learning Center

The Learning Center is primarily dedicated to serving the student community at Berea College through one-on-one peer tutoring sessions with student consultants.

These consultants work at the Center as part of the student labor program at the college and are trained to assist Berea’s students in writing as well as all other forms of communication. The Learning Center supports research, writing, and public speaking across the curriculum, valuing writing in all disciplines including the spoken and written word. We provide enthusiastic support for academic and creative writers.

It is our hope that students will come to the Center for orientation during their freshman year and continue to visit until graduation as they further refine their critical thinking, communication, and study skills. Our student, faculty, and accomplished staff members offer a wide range of expertise and are available during daytime and evening hours in Draper 106. Through workshops and one-on-one consulting, our professional staff supports faculty in areas of pedagogy, scholarship, and career development.
