Student Learning Center

Your donation is vital to the Student Learning Center, providing customized academic coaching, individual and group tutoring, learning science seminars, and supplemental instruction to 10,000-plus undergraduates at Cal. 

Since 1973, the Student Learning Center has been the primary source of academic support at Berkeley, currently serving approximately 30 percent of the undergraduate population. By promoting collaboration, innovation, and diversity in all our services, we seek to foster a learning culture that values intellectual risk-taking, demands excellence, and strives for social justice. 

With your help, we can ensure more students are able to meet the rigors of a premier research university like UC Berkeley. Your generous gift of any size provides us with broad support to cover the costs of our most important activities. Here are examples of the impactful activities that we carry out, and their costs:


• One hour of individual tutoring costs $20

• Six weeks of Group Academic Coaching for a cohort of 6 students costs $500

• One 3-hour exam review for up to 500 students costs $1,200
