The mission of Tutoring Services is to serve as a center for learning assistance, which provides an academic support structure for students to develop key learning skills, enhance their confidence, and increase their independence. Tutors and Study Coaches help students develop a deeper understanding of class material and gain successful skills that can improve their overall GPA. They assess students' academic strengths and challenges and develop strategies for time management, test-taking, textbook reading, memorization, and note-taking. Students can request and be matched for appointments with Tutors and Study Coaches on staff throughout the term.

  • Tutoring appointments are arranged for one hour per week per course at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where do online tutoring/study coaching take place and how can I prepare?

    Tutors and Study Coaches hold online sessions on Microsoft Teams. They will send you an email with the link to the online session. Before your session, prepare for your online appointments by reviewing the videos on How to Join MS Teams meeting and Checking-in/out of your appointment. We encourage you to download the desktop version of Microsoft Teams because you will have the best performance, including access to backgrounds. Use your WSU email and password to log in. Please note that the browsers that work best with Microsoft Teams are Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

  • Where do face-to-face tutoring/study coaching take place and how can I prepare?

    Tutors and Study Coaches hold face-to-face sessions in the Student Success Building, 122 SC. We will send you an email with the time and day of the sessions. Before your session starts, check-in using one of the kiosks. One Kiosk is located inside 122 SC, and the other is located at the end of the hall next to the elevators. 

  • Do I need to check-in?

    Yes, it is important that you check-in and check-out for each of your sessions.

  • How do I cancel my appointment(s)?

    When you need to cancel an appointment, you will need to email both wsututor@wright.edu and your tutor as soon as possible. Remember to cancel your appointment at least one hour before the scheduled start time to avoid cancellation of all future appointments.

  • Can I sign up for more than one hour of appointments per course per week?

    Starting week 6 of the term, students can request an additional one hour for tutoring for a maximum of 2 hours per week per course. Students can use the Tutoring Services Request form and include that this is for an additional hour in the comment section of their request.

  • What if my tutor/study coach doesn’t show up or cancels right before the appointment?

    If it is 15 minutes after your appointment start time and the tutor/study coach has not shown up or if the tutor/study coach cancels one hour or less before the appointment start time, please email wsututor@wright.edu, or stop by the front desk at 122 SC for further instructions.

  • What is a student no-show for tutor or study coach sessions?

    A no-show occurs when a student does not show up within 15 minutes of the appointment start time or cancels one hour or less before the appointment start time. Two consecutive no-shows and three total no-shows per course will result in the cancellation of all of those appointments for the remainder of the semester.

  • What is considered “excessive” cancellations?

    Excessive cancellations are when a student cancels on time 2 consecutive or three total times for one course. Cancellations may be for various reasons (i.e., no new material, illness, out-of-town, etc.). If you are found to have "excessive" cancellations, you will be dropped from your appointments for that course. 

  • What is considered “excessive early departure”?

    Excessive early departures are when a student leaves four appointments 15 minutes or less into their session. This will result in the cancellation of these appointments for the remainder of the semester.

  • What happens to my appointment if I or my tutor are unable to come due to illness?

    If the student or tutor is too ill to attend their sessions, they should not do so and should cancel with as much advanced notice as possible. Please email wsututor@wright.edu or call 937-775-5770 to contact our office.

  • What happens to my appointment if I or my tutor are unable to come due to mandatory quarantine?

    If the student or tutor is too ill to attend their sessions, they should not do so and should cancel with as much advanced notice as possible.

    If the tutor or student is healthy enough to work or attend their sessions, their sessions should be transitioned or rescheduled to allow online delivery/attendance, if possible.
