Academic coaching is a free support service through The Learning Center that is available to all PSU students. Students work with coaches one-on-one to create measurable plans to improve school/life balance, study strategies, reading retention, organization, test prep, and more.

Coaches can also come to your class, group, or meeting to talk about the services in the Learning Center, for a shorter 15 minute presentation. Email mycoach@pdx.edu to request this. 

The ROADS to Success presentation series is designed to help students improve their academic performance, strengthen their goals, and become better learners. Faculty and staff can request presentations for their class or group at any time.

We offer peer tutoring in a number of lower division STEM classes and some world languages. Students can book one-on-one appointments through Penji or visit our Drop-in Learning Lab. A direct link to Penji can be added to your course navigation bar in Canvas (select your course, click settings, choose Navigation, add Penji).

We offer Embedded Tutors/Supplemental Instruction Leaders to be placed in select courses. We prioritize STEM courses with high DFW rates (below 80% completion) that have enrollment of 50+ students.
