The Tutoring and Learning Center has closed.
Columbia University’s Tutoring and Learning Center (TLC) is a tutoring program created to improve high-school students' academic performance in math and overall college readiness. Columbia University students are trained as tutors for students in partner schools focusing on providing individualized, high-quality after-school tutoring that complements and supports education in the classroom and aims to narrow the achievement gap.
