Learning Center
"All Learners – All Levels"
FREE Tutoring and Learning Resources
Location: Building A, Room 248
The Learning Center provides free personal tutoring and computer-assisted instruction to all BPCC students. Students may receive assistance with the sciences, mathematics, writing, reading, English, and other areas of study. Microscopes, graphing calculators, human anatomy models, and a CPR manikin are samples of student resources available for use in The Learning Center. The Learning Center services are free of charge and appointments are not necessary. In addition to the numerous resources housed at The Learning Center, the Center provides online tutoring 24 hours a day powered through SMARThinking. This service is also free of charge and is accessed through The Blackboardhomepage.
The Writing Support Services Learning Laboratory, located within The Learning Center, serves all students in every stage of the writing process, regardless of the subject. Writing, like learning, is a dynamic process, and writers, no matter their level of expertise, can always improve. Writing Support Services’ tutors help students focus on the process of writing and work to help students establish a foundation for success in writing. For online assistance, send an email to writingsupport@bpcc.edu.
The Learning Center uses its website to inform BPCC students about important announcements such as hours of operation, special programs, and new services. Students will be able to view a tutor schedule by subject via the website to determine the best time that a tutor will be staffed for a subject. Students are encouraged to access The Learning Center homepage by logging onto www.bpcc.edu/thelearningcenter. The Learning Center hours are subject to change.

Project R.E.A.D.

Project R.E.A.D. (Reading Enhances Adult Development) is a college-based literacy program designed to train community volunteers to teach adults how to read. A 12-hour tutor-training workshop certifies volunteers in the Laubach Way to Reading. Upon successful completion of the workshop, volunteers are matched with an adult non-reader, and the team begins meeting privately, on a one-on-one basis, for tutoring sessions. Tutors and students meet approximately two hours each week in a place convenient to both: library, school, church, etc. Materials and training are provided free of charge, and non-readers are assured of confidentiality. For more information, contact Coordinator Tiyonda McCoy at (318) 678-6197.
