The Learning Center and Accessibility Services
West Virginia Wesleyan College provides excellent support programs to students with diagnosed learning disabilities, attention disorders, and other special needs.
Disability Support
The College is strongly committed to providing excellent support to students with documented learning disabilities, attention difficulties, and other special needs. An individually structured program has been designed to accommodate our students. Professionals who have earned graduate degrees in the fields of Education, Educational Psychology, Special Education, Counseling, and Reading work to help each student design strategies for academic success.
The Writing Center
The West Virginia Wesleyan College Writing Center helps students develop the writing skills and confidence they need for academic success. Through individualized tutoring and constructive feedback, the Writing Center helps students become more effective and independent writers across disciplines.
Writing Support: Students can seek assistance at any stage of the writing process, from interpreting an assignment and generating ideas to revising and polishing a draft. Areas of support include:
-
Understanding assignment expectations and planning a response.
-
Brainstorming topics and developing a focused thesis.
-
Organizing ideas and strengthening paragraph development.
-
Building arguments and integrating supporting evidence with proper formatting.
-
Incorporating research and applying citation guidelines.
-
Revising for clarity, coherence, and effectiveness.
-
Identifying grammar and sentence-level patterns and developing proofreading strategies.
The Writing Center emphasizes collaboration and skill development. Rather than editing or completing assignments for students, tutors help writers evaluate their work, make purposeful revisions, and develop strategies they can apply to future assignments.
Proctored Writing Assignments: The Writing Center also provides proctoring for writing assignments, offering a supervised setting in which students complete designated writing tasks according to instructor requirements.
Supporting Student Success: Students are encouraged to use the Writing Center throughout the writing process; a completed draft is not required. By bringing assignment instructions, notes, questions, or work in progress, students can receive support tailored to their writing goals.

Tutoring
Walk-In Tutoring is a peer-tutoring program certified Level I by the College Reading and Learning Association and sponsored by the Learning Center. It provides faculty-recommended tutors who are trained and supervised to assist students with the goal of promoting independence in learning.
Walk-In Tutoring offers help for students in courses offered by many of the academic departments. Tutors can help students: understand how to complete homework and other assignments, determine how and what to study, figure out professor expectations, etc. Students who would like assistance can attend one of the regularly scheduled tutoring sessions offered on a walk-in basis.
Students who need help with a course in a department not listed on the tutoring schedule can contact the Tutor Supervisor. The Tutor Supervisor will organize a study group for that particular course.
