Structured
Study Groups:
UW-Waukesha offers tutoring in a variety of different
subjects: science, business, foreign languages, and many
more. The Study Center organizes structured study
groups for these subjects. Our trained tutors
complement classroom instruction by leading study group
participants toward a greater understanding of the subject
and an insider's view of what it takes to be successful in
the course.
Did you know that study group participants will likely
achieve a final grade on point higher that what they would have
otherwise earned? The groups are informal, relaxed, and
friendly. Click below to download a current list of study
groups and the times they meet in the Study Center. Please
feel free to inquire if you need tutoring assistance in a
subject not listed.
