The Academic Resource Center, located in Library 204, provides free, collaborative peer-to-peer learning services for all Wartburg students. 

Peer tutors offer subject-specific tutoring to assist students in understanding course concepts, homework assignments, and preparing for exams. 

Writing consultants are also available to provide guidance in all stages of the writing process, including brainstorming, research, content development, organization, formatting, and citations. 

Peer tutors and writing consultants aim to provide support that encourages students to become self-motivated, independent learners over time.
