INFORMATION FOR FACULTY AND STAFF

The LAC provides individual and group tutoring for SFSU students for a wide range of courses. Tutors are trained to focus on teaching transferable skills (annotating texts, for example) so that students can independently apply these new skills to their work for all courses at the university.

Referring Students

If you'd like to refer a student, you may print the referral form. Please describe what skills or areas you feel the student you're referring to the center needs to work on in order to do well in your course. You may also pick up referral forms at the center (HSS 348).

Other Types of Support

The LAC offers additional support to students and tutors. Click here if you'd like to learn more about our Grammar-for-Writing Workshops, a one-unit program for students taking freshman-level English classes. The LAC staff will be happy to visit your class to introduce campus tutoring services to your students. Please contact us at 338-1993 or at lac@sfsu.edu to discuss your class composition and goals and to set up a convenient time to visit.

The LAC faculty also supports SFSU instructors. In the past, as examples, the LAC faculty has taught a 20 minute lesson during regular class time on citation skills, worked with a teacher to redesign writing assignments; supported new instructors in giving effective feedback to multilingual writers. Give the LAC faculty a call at 338-1994 to discuss your needs.
