The Quantitative Reasoning Center (QRC)
Welcome to quantitative reasoning (QR) support at Le Moyne! In short, QR is solving problems and analyzing information using math and critical thinking, and on the Heights, we have a whole center devoted to it.
Essential everyday matters – from understanding nutrition labels to making financial investments – require QR and analysis skills. Le Moyne’s QRC – Quantitative Reasoning Center (QRC) – provides you with resources to support your development of these skills through study clinics and professional tutoring.
You can find us on the first floor of the Noreen Reale Falcone Library – just go to the right when you enter.
The QRC is open:
- Mondays – Wednesdays: 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
- Thursdays: 10:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
- Fridays: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- Sundays: 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Quantitative Reasoning Needs Met With Quality Resources
The Le Moyne QRC supports students in calculus, computer science, statistics, physics and chemistry courses through various programs.
STEM Course QRC Clinics
Drop-in QRC clinics are group study sessions run by student leaders who not only help you understand course material but also assist you with the reasoning skills to approach the content on your own. At a QRC clinic, you might work on homework, ask questions, collaborate with your classmates or study for an upcoming test. Check out the latest clinic schedule – no sign-up needed – just come!
Chemistry Tutoring
Professor Rachel Porter offers one-on-one tutoring through the QRC, which you can sign up for on our online scheduling system. Additional subject-specific tutoring is available at the Student Success Center, and you can view that schedule here.
GRE Preparation
The QRC offers GRE preparation through a daily email with sample questions, solutions and mathematical tips.

Clinic leaders have the opportunity to build their teaching and leadership skills and strengthen their own understanding of course material by helping others! Our clinic leaders are paid, always work in pairs and hiring decisions are not based on eligibility for work-study. Scheduling is completely flexible to the clinic leader’s availability, and we hold paid comprehensive tutoring training before clinics begin.

It can be better for students to work together in a group because they are working on the problems and struggling through the material and bouncing ideas off of people who are also struggling through it. They figure out ways that work for them to do it. In clinics, you go at your own pace, and you can figure out ways that help you solve problems.”
