Why Come to the CWL?
We are all wired differently, which means the ways we relate to the world, process information and ideas, and make sense of it, are as unique as our fingerprints. Although we are unique, we are also relational creatures that best grow and develop in social contexts. Consequently, learning is most effective when it is a collaborative process that is sensitive to the needs of individual learners. It is this conviction that establishes who we are at the Center for Writing and Learning, and gives shape to the services we provide for all students of the FPU community.
Whether you excel in academics or find it a challenge, we believe that tutoring is beneficial for all, because it requires students to be more deeply engaged in the process of their own learning. We also believe that tutoring is especially helpful for those who struggle, because our consultants are equipped to meet students where they are, to help them strengthen their weaknesses and use their strengths.
Beyond tutoring, we provide academic workshops, coaching and study halls. Our workshops address specific aspects of student success. Academic coaching provides one-on-one relationships to help students better manage their academic life. Finally, academic study halls provide a space, a means for tracking study time, and a student monitor to help students process their homework. Through all of our services it is our desire to help students achieve the highest levels of academic performance.
