The Learning Commons is a collaborative service consisting of Language Partners, Subject Tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, the Writing Center and Library support.
- Language Partners
Language Partners help to improve students' pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar by engaging native or fluent speakers with language learners in natural, one-on-one conversation. Additional special events like group language tables, movie nights, and game nights provide fun opportunities for students to improve speaking proficiency in a fun and social environment.
- Subject Tutoring
Subject Tutors provide walk-in assistance for general studies classes with a focus on math, science, language and business.
To get the most out of subject tutoring, students should start accessing help early. Access the tutoring schedule online or in the
Learning Commons.
- Supplemental Instruction (SI)
SI leaders work directly with instructors to offer review sessions in selected general studies classes. Contact the Learning
Commons at (308) 865-8905 for a list of current SI courses.
- Writing Center
Writing Center tutors assist UNK students, staff and faculty at any stage of the writing process. Make an appointment by calling
(308) 865-8905, in person at the Welcome Desk or online by visiting http://tutortrac.unk.edu. Walk-ins
are accommodated as the appointment schedule allows.
