Rider Learning Center
The Rider Learning Center (RLC), Joseph P. Vona Academic Annex Rooms 1-3, provides free individual and small-group tutoring in writing, reading comprehension, study strategies, and English as a Second Language (ESL). RLC staff also offer writing and study strategy workshops in the Center, in classrooms, and at outreach locations. For some writing-intensive courses, the RLC provides Embedded Tutors, who serve as liaisons between the course and other RLC staff.
The RLC is staffed by highly trained professional and peer tutors. Our Professional Tutors must have at least a bachelor’s degree though many have advanced degrees and experience as instructors at Rider. In addition to tutoring, they lead training sessions for our Student Writing Associates. These Student Writing Associates are highly qualified undergraduates who are specially trained to help students with the writing process. They must have successfully completed a semester-long course, Theories of Writing and Tutoring, and have attended additional training in the RLC before they can begin tutoring. Both Professional Tutors and Student Writing Associates are encouraged to engage in on-going training through our internationally certified tutor training program.
To make an appointment for assistance with writing, reading, study strategies, and/or ESL, please call 609-895-5640.

The RLC Computer Lab, located in the Joseph P. Vona Academic Annex Room 2, is open for student use throughout the semester.
