Your first days in class may go more smoothly with a small amount of preparation. The Learning Center works closely with the Electronics Technology program to make sure you have the support you need for your classes. In addition, the CalWomenTech Learning Library has software to help you build your skills in spatial reasoning (the ability to see things in three dimensions), boost your math and problem solving skills, and more! Browse the CalWomenTech Learning Library to see what might be of interest to you and then use the software free of charge at the Learning Center. If you need help with a math class, the Math Lab offers hands-on assistance in a group setting.

The Irvine Valley College Learning Center also provides free tutoring from trained tutors, including other students who have done well in the class you are taking, retired teachers, and other qualified individuals from the community. Student tutors have completed a training course in peer tutoring, where they receive supervised tutoring experience.

Students are eligible for one hour of tutoring per subject, by appointment, per week. Tutoring sessions, which last one hour, are held in a private study room in the library. To request a tutor, fill out the Tutor Request Form and ask your instructor to complete the Instructor Referral Form found on the How to Find a Tutor page of the Learning Center website. You will also have to register for a free course, TU 301, Supervised Tutoring.
