LRC Mission

We cultivate a respectful learning space that embraces all backgrounds and learning styles.

• Valuing each student’s unique background, experiences, and approach to learning mathematics.

• Offering judgment-free support where students feel comfortable asking any question.

• Encouraging a mindset that mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning.

• Supporting students who may feel anxious, discouraged, or uncertain about mathematics.

We strive to provide math help which is free, visible, and easy to use so all students can get timely support.

• Offering free math tutoring services to ensure all students can receive academic support.

• Providing walk-in support across core undergraduate and select 3000-levelcourses to eliminate barriers to receiving timely assistance.

• Facilitating access to technology in the Math Lab that supports online homework platforms, advanced mathematical software, and mathematical exploration.

• Creating a learning environment where all students feel welcome to ask questions.

We encourage collaborative learning among students and between students and faculty, and we value curiosity and inquiry as pathways to deeper understanding.

• Supporting students as they develop effective strategies for understanding course material.

• Collaborating with faculty to support course objectives.

• Promoting shared problem-solving where students articulate ideas and learn from peers through active learning.

• Building a community of learners who support one another’s success in mathematics.

We uphold professionalism, ethical conduct, and mutual respect in all interactions.

• Upholding academic honesty by providing guidance without completing a student’s work.

• Striving to ensure explanations presented to students are accurate and transparent.

• Maintaining professionalism and fairness across all tutoring settings.
