Student success Learning Centres The Learning Centres' goal is to promote student achievement and retention, develop independent lifelong learners, and support innovation in learning and teaching through the integration of learning strategy and peer tutoring services. The Centre provides all Georgian students with writing, math and study skills and peer tutoring. The centre is staffed by a team of experts and senior students trained as learning skills assistants. The assistants work in the Knowledge Hubs (Barrie) in the Library Commons, the Write On! Centre and in the Math Help Centre. One-on-one tutoring is available to students in specific courses. Tutors are matched with students on an individual basis by the peer services advisor. Students who would like to receive tutoring may visit one of our Learning Centres or meet with the peer services advisor to discuss individual tutoring needs. Staffed by faculty, the Math Help Centre assists with understanding assignments, making sense of math questions and working with formulas. Write On! assists with editing, APA style, organizing ideas and understanding assignments.
