Center for Teaching & Learning
Welcome to the Center for Teaching & Learning. If you're having academic difficulties or looking to improve your skills and academic achievement at any level, we can help you. We offer one-on-one professional math and writing tutoring to all registered Aurora University students — commuter or resident, part-time or full-time, undergraduate or graduate. Many of our tutors have specific fields of expertise, and all have graduate degrees and significant experience teaching or tutoring at the college level. If you're having trouble with specific course material (e.g. computer science, Spanish or accounting), we can provide you with a peer tutor at no cost. We may also be able to help you figure out whether you're managing your time wisely or studying effectively for the courses you're taking. If you know there's some problem, but don't know what it is, we're confident we can help you figure it out.

- Professional one-on-one tutoring for a variety of math courses, as well as writing courses. Our tutors have graduate degrees; most have taught college courses, including courses at AU.
