| The Academic Reinforcement Center (ARC) is a learning and resource center that offers quality one-on-one and small-group tutoring across the disciplines to undergraduates of the Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University. The tutors and administrators represent the academic and cultural diversity of the student body, providing assistance in mathematics, education, business, and the humanities, as well as the social, physical and health sciences. All tutors and support staff are dedicated to providing students with a productive learning experience.
Tutoring sessions are designed to supplement in-class work and focus on providing opportunities for active learning, self-reflection, and collaborative study. Tutors, acting as educational mentors rather than instructors, focus not on teaching content and completing homework assignments, but on posing problems and putting course subjects into practice through critical thinking and re-examination.
The ARC also offers walk-in tutoring sessions available on a limited basis, targeted group workshops, study skills support, and assistance with forming study groups. The English Summer Institute, a 6-week writing preparation course for pre-freshmen, is also coordinated by the ARC between July and August. |
