TUTORING

Writing at Wesleyan: The Writing Workshop, 279 Court Street, Room 102, 685-2440

Many students need short-and long-term assistance in acquiring writing skills that are appropriate for Wesleyan. The Writing Workshop has a staff of writing tutors who will work with you individually at any stage of your writing assignments ranging from generating, discussing, and developing ideas; editing a draft of an assignment; and reviewing your professor's comments.

Special individual tutorials are offered to students who speak English as a second language (ESL) and for students with learning disabilities. In addition to support for ESL students, writing tutors are assigned to some of the courses that emphasize writing.

English as a Second Language

The staff of the Writing Workshop can help you if you want to edit your course papers or gain informal practice in English conversation. Call any time during the semester to make an appointment to meet with a tutor, or use the workshop's drop-in hours in the Public Affairs Center. The workshop also provides semester-long, full-credit ESL tutorials adapted to each student's needs. While the workshops do not offer courses that are designated as ESL courses, it does offer writing classes that are particularly appropriate for bilingual or ESL students. These writing classes are taught by the Writing Program's ESL Program Director/Coordinator of International Students Academic Advisor and are included in the English Department's course listings.  For more information on these and other academic support and services for international students, please contact the International Student Advisor.
