Welcome to Learning Support at UW-Madison

Learning Support at UW–Madison consists of many learning centers that offer free academic resources. While tutoring is at its core, Learning Support also includes writing help, study skill support, and self-directed learning tools.

Tutoring is a free, low-pressure way to stay on top of your classes and feel more confident with the material. It’s not just for when you’re struggling—many students use tutoring to better understand concepts, practice problem-solving, and study more effectively.

Study Skills workshops and appointments are an opportunity to work on foundational academic skills. Get support building effective study habits, kicking your procrastination, taking better notes, and more!

Flexible, self-paced, and on-demand Canvas learning resources are available across several subject areas to support your academic success. You can use these resources anytime, whether you’re reviewing foundational concepts or tackling more advanced material.

At UW–Madison, tutoring is offered through our various Learning Centers across campus. Each provides tutoring for the subject areas and courses they support. Tutoring is available for more than 75 courses at UW-Madison.

Strong writing skills are essential for success in any field. Whether you’re working on essays, research papers, or presentations, writing support can assist you through the process by building your skills and offering personalized feedback.

Learning Support at UW–Madison relies on the work of peer tutors; current students that work for campus learning centers. Every year, learning centers hire undergraduate and graduate peer tutors. Consider working as a tutor!
