Learning Skills Classes

Learning Skills Language Arts and Mathematics provide courses to support and foster student success through self-paced computer assisted instruction with the oversight of the instructor.   Successful students have used Learning Skills as a supplement to their English, ESL & Math classes, as a refresher for self improvement if they have been away from school for a period of time, or as a requirement for job related skills training.  Courses are available in Grammar Review, Vocabulary, Spelling, ESL, Reading Comprehension, Essay Writing, Speed Reading, Math Fundamentals and Algebra, Political Science, and Chemistry.

Learning Skills courses are taught TBA (To Be Arranged) so that you can come in anytime the lab is open to complete your work and hours required. These classes are NDA (non degree applicable), and the grade is CR/NC (credit/no credit). By consulting with one of the instructors, a course of study can be tailored for your own individual needs!
