undergraduate bulletin - LaGrange College

MOSHELL LEARNING CENTER
Located in the 24-hour study area on the main (2 nd ) floor of the Frank and Laura Lewis Library,
this facility includes the Writing and Tutoring Center, which serves students currently enrolled
at LaGrange College. Our staff consists of undergraduate work-study employees and tutoring
interns who have been nominated for this program by professors in their respective disciplines.
Dr. Laine Scott supervises and trains these peer tutors to conduct one-on-one or group tutoring
sessions. Although the subjects tutored may vary from semester to semester, the Moshell
Learning Center typically provides at least one peer tutor in each of the following areas:
Biology (including Anatomy)
Chemistry
French
Math / Problem Solving (multiple tutors)
Political Science
41
Psychology
Religion
Spanish
Statistics
Writing (multiple tutors)
During the Fall and Spring semesters, these tutors are available Sunday through Thursday
evenings, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and, in some cases, by appointment as well.
Student who would like to serve as peer tutors but are ineligible for work-study funding may
enroll in TCHA 4492 (On-Campus Tutoring Internship) and thus earn one to three (1-3)
semester hours of academic credit for their service. Note that these hours do not count toward
any major or minor program. This course may be repeated for credit. Grading is on a ―Pass/No
credit‖ basis. Prerequisites: Recommendation from a full-time faculty member in the subject to
be tutored and approval by the Director of the Writing and Tutoring Center.
