The Learning Center

The Eagle Learning Center provides academic support services to A&M-Texarkana students with the goal of improving student academic success. The Eagle Learning Center houses a full-service tutoring and peer-learning center with computer lab, private and group study areas, and 24/7 online tutoring options across most core disciplines -- all free for students to use.  By focusing on success, the Eagle Learning Center hopes to ensure every student has the tools to make it through their degree. 

Peer Tutoring

Professional and peer tutoring forms the backbone of the Eagle Learning Center student support.  The Eagle Learning Center tutors are faculty recommended and certified through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA), providing individual and small group tutoring sessions by walk-in or appointment. Students can meet face-to-face or online and schedule regularly occurring meetings throughout the semester at times that fit their schedule. Tutors aid in course content comprehension, test-prep, and long-term skill development, but above all assist students in becoming independent learners.

Tutor.com

In addition to peer tutoring options, all students have unlimited access to 24/7 tutoring support through Tutor.com.    Pick from thousands of tutors across hundreds of subjects.  You can meet with your tutor at any time from any internet ready device, phone, tablet, or laptop. 

Supplemental Instruction (SI)

Supplemental Instruction (SI) targets historically difficult courses by closely integrating a certified Eagle Learning Center tutor with the class. Tutors attend all class lectures and lead multiple weekly group study sessions with students. During these sessions, tutors facilitate discussion of course content, hold reviews for exams, and help students develop class-specific study skills. Above all, SI tutors serve as both resource and model to students, reflecting and promoting the independent mastery necessary for students to succeed in the course.

Embedded Course Tutoring (ECT)

Embedded Course Tutoring targets difficult courses with high amounts of active learning opportunities in the classroom, such as labs, math, and writing courses.  Embedded tutors work actively in the class along-side faculty supporting students and promoting learning.  Embedded tutors attend all class lectures, working with students individually and in small groups throughout the class period.
