Learning Partners Program
Built for students who learn differently.
Learning Partners provides individualized coaching, structure, and academic support to help students build confidence, independence, and momentum.
Academic Support
A coordinated system of support.
Learning Partners is a comprehensive, fee-based academic support program for college students with learning differences — one of the few of its kind in North Carolina. Students receive strategies, structure, and support designed to help them succeed in college and beyond.
This is not supplemental tutoring. It is a coordinated system of academic, cognitive, and developmental support designed to produce durable independence.

I firmly believe that our Learning Partners Program is a game-changer. It allows students to work with a mentor and advocate who understands the struggles of students with learning differences.

Louisburg College Trustee
Learning Partners provided the structure and guidance to assist my son to form study habits that adapted to his learning style, not the other way around. This program was the perfect blend of adaptability and advice my son needed to help him become the successful student he is today.
