Who We Are
The Peer Learning Consultant Program helps Stanford students develop learning strategies that will allow them to reach their academic goals. Our Learning Consultants work with both undergraduate and graduate students across all disciplines and serve over 3,000 students annually. Learning Consultants are required to undergo comprehensive training and the selection process is highly competitive. In 2019, the Peer Learning Consultant Program forged formal partnerships with the Athletic Academic Resource Center (AARC) and the School of Engineering to bring dedicated academic support to Stanford student-athletes and graduate students in the School of Engineering, respectively. For any inquiries about the Peer Learning Consultant program, please email academicskills@stanford.edu.
