Welcome to the LRC!

A tradition of excellence in supporting UMass Amherst Undergraduates for over 25 years!

At UMass Amherst’s LRC, there are three different branches of academic support available to undergraduate students, including Course-Based Peer Tutoring (drop-in and by appointment), Study Skills Tutoring, and group review sessions or Supplemental Instruction (SI).  

Our services are rooted in EPPI (Educationally Purposeful Peer Interactions) pedagogy which is proven to enhance student learning and outcomes.   

LRC and OURS services are built-in campus resources, and they are completely free for UMass undergraduates.

We look forward to supporting your academic success this semester and beyond!
