Learning Strategies

Niagara College offers the services of Learning Strategists to support students experiencing learning challenges as they navigate post-secondary education and work toward achieving their academic goals.

Learning Strategists help students develop personalized learning techniques and study strategies that can be applied directly to their courses. These strategies are designed to build on individual strengths, maximize learning potential, and reduce the impact of learning difficulties or disabilities.

What are learning strategies?

Learning strategies are practical approaches to studying and engaging with course material that help students learn more effectively and efficiently.

Our Learning Strategists work one-on-one with students to identify barriers to learning and introduce tools and techniques tailored to their individual needs. Students are then guided in applying these strategies to their coursework and academic responsibilities.
