General Description
The University of Connecticut's Quantitative Learning Center (Q Center) is a resource to elevate the proficiency of students taking quantitative intensive (Q) courses across the undergraduate curriculum. We provide direct assistance to students via peer tutoring, review sessions, and the creation of innovative learning tools. We assist Q faculty to incorporate best practices in their teaching, and serve as a clearinghouse for information about Q resources and discussion of Q issues within the university.
We are one of eight units of the Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL) that provide support for students and faculty.

People
The Q Center staff includes Tom Roby, Director and Associate Professor of Mathematics, Kristen Sellke, Interim Associate Director and Assistant Professor in Residence for Mathematics, and Diane Briody, Program Assistant as well as 13 graduate TAs, and 50 undergraduate peer tutors. Moreover, 29 Teaching Assistants from the Department of Mathematics hold some office hours in one of the locations of the Q Center tutoring.
