The Disability Resource Center does not provide direct tutoring but does work closely with other units to assure that University tutoring services are accessible to students with disabilities.

Tutoring at the University of Louisville is provided by REACH (Resources for Academic Achievement). In addition to tutoring, REACH offers Academic Coaching, Peer Assisted Learning (PAL), Structured Learning Assistance (SLA), academic workshops, and on-line resources.

Generally,  REACH offers scheduled tutoring in small groups or offers drop-in tutoring in a lab environment. For students who have a disability-related reason that group tutoring for a specific class is not effective, REACH will attempt to provide an individual tutoring appointment and 1.5x time for content courses that are identified as REACH-supported.  To inquire about availability of this additional support, DRC students may show their accommodation letter for the course to REACH professional staff in the Learning Resource Center (BAB 250), Math Resource Center (BAB 241), or Ekstrom Tutoring Center (1^st Floor Ekstrom Library) to demonstrate their eligibility, or may contact their coordinator to request an email referral to REACH if they prefer not to share this letter.

If students require any accommodations in order to participate in REACH programming, they should contact their coordinator to make these requests.  ASL interpreting accommodations may be scheduled using the American Sign Language Interpreter Request Form, which should be completed at least one week in advance whenever possible.

IMPORTANT: REACH may not be able to provide an individual tutoring for all REACH-supported courses depending on time of day and tutor availability.  In addition, REACH cannot provide academic support for students enrolled in  non-REACH supported courses.  REACH tutoring is not available for all content areas or for all classes.

Remember that tutoring services are designed to supplement your learning.  Benefit will occur only if you use this resource responsibly.
