Student Learning Hub

The Student Learning Hub’s free and flexible supports are for everyone. We invite UBCO students from all disciplines and year levels to access a range of supports from peers and professionals that include tutoring in math, sciences, languages, and writing, as well as help with study skills and learning strategies. Visit us early and often to build the skills, strategies, and behaviours that are essential to being a confident and independent learner.
