Peer Support Learning
Peer Supported Learning (PSL) is an academic support program that provides informal study sessions led by senior students who have taken the class previously. Langara College employs peer support facilitators who will sit in the class to observe, become a peer, provide model student behaviour, and facilitate out-of-class study sessions.
Our Peer+ study sessions are offered in-person and online.
