Science & Math Virtual Support

Learning Development & Success’ (LDS) Science and Math Learning Specialists will be offering virtual sessions to assist students in taking problem-solving courses at Western.  The Learning Specialists can help guide you through the problem-solving process, help connect you with valuable resources to support your learning and help you deepen your subject area knowledge in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus and other Math courses.
