SLC – Queen’s Math LinQ

This initiative addresses the high failure rate in first-year mathematics courses at St. Lawrence College (SLC), where a 35% average and a significant portion of students struggle. The program involves the selection and training of Queen’s University Education students to provide tutorials for SLC first-year students, focusing on essential math skills. By enhancing understanding and preparation for the CAAT program, the initiative aims to ultimately improve student outcomes and foster a supportive learning environment through weekly small-group tutorials.
