Services
In addition to the many free services we offer to all LMU students, we also provide the more customized services below to international students. If you need assistance with something that doesn’t appear here, just give us a call. We’ll do our best to help you.
Peer tutoring
Need help writing a paper? Having trouble grasping the concepts in chemistry? The LRC offers free peer tutoring in more than 180 academic courses as well as in writing. Call the receptionist to make weekly or occasional appointments. (This service is offered to all LMU students. We just don’t want you to forget about it!)
Success strategies
Professional staff offer individual workshops tailored to your specific needs. Among our selections are effective reading strategies; better note-taking; test-taking strategies; time management; oral presentations, and more. To make appointments, call the receptionist at 310-338-2847.
Conversation partners
Ever wonder how an American would say it? Want to know why people keep using that word that isn’t in the dictionary? A peer tutor can answer these and other questions. To make appointments, call the receptionist at 310-338-2847.
Conversation group
Global Connections, a weekly conversation group for international students, is offered in the fall and spring semesters. LMU undergraduate and graduate students join to increase their English fluency, gain confidence in their speech, practice English in a fun and relaxed setting, and meet and socialize with fellow LMU students. No appointments are necessary and attendance is not taken--come when you can. Click here for this semester's schedule.
