The Learning Center at NCC

Feel confident in your studies, and get the academic support you need with the NCC Learning Centers!

The Learning Center is a welcoming and inclusive environment where students are empowered to become independent learners through individualized academic support.

 

The learning center offers tutoring in a wide variety of subjects and personalized academic coaching. As a student, you may utilize our services at the Bethlehem Campus, Pocono Campus, or online regardless of where you take your classes.

 

Tutoring is not only for students who are struggling in a course.  Our most successful students take advantage of the Learning Center to reinforce their understanding of course content and refine their subject-specific study strategies.

Interested in working at The Learning Center?

The Learning Center employs professional tutors and academic coaches, peer tutors, and front desk assistants. Typically, we have the most need for tutors during the fall and spring semesters; however, we also hire on an as-needed basis throughout the year. All tutors and academic coaches earn a College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) Level I certification.

If you are a current NCC student and you want to become a peer tutor, you must have completed the course(s) you want to tutor, provide your unofficial transcript, and have a faculty reference. Peer tutors should apply here.
