Learning Enrichment and Assistance Program

LEAP (Learning Enrichment and Assistance Program) is an academic support service connected to Gardner-Webb University’s Undergraduate Student Success Center. LEAP’s flagship service is course-specific peer tutoring. Through our course-specific tutoring services, we hope to contribute to the tutors’ and tutees’ personal development and academic success. While LEAP is not equipped to offer tutoring assistance for all Gardner-Webb courses, we strive to provide tutoring assistance for highly-requested courses found within Gardner-Webb University’s curriculum.

LEAP peer tutoring provides GOAL-DCP students with two reliable and flexible tutoring options to support distance students’ academic needs. GOAL-DCP students can schedule a one-on-one tutoring appointment for select courses. All one-on-one tutoring appointments are scheduled via WebbConnect and take place in the Tucker Student Center room 336 (main Gardner-Webb campus-Boiling Springs). If a student is unable to attend a scheduled one-on-one tutoring appointment, or if one-on-one tutoring is not offered for the requested course, GOAL-DCP students can access online tutor via Smarthinking® (a higher education online tutoring company). GOAL-DCP students have access to Smarthinking tutoring each semester and can access Smarthinking via Blackboard or WebbConnect.

LEAP is open to student input and needs as we seek to provide the best tutoring services possible. Our policies and responsibilities are developed to benefit the student-learning process.
