Synchronous Services provide one-on-one, interactive tutoring sessions that enable collaborative feedback, personalized pacing, and real-time clarification of concepts.
Synchronous Services are a great support offering for students who prefer individualized tutoring sessions adapted to each learner’s needs, featuring questions, concept modeling, and championing the creation of independent learners.
Students can schedule 30-, 60-, and 90-minute appointments on WCOnline and work with Professional and/or Peer Writing Specialists.
Synchronous services are recommended for all students, especially those:
- returning to college-level writing after a long break
- with unique learning styles
- who prefer personal contact for additional accountability
- seeking help with assignment dissection, professorial feedback, and revision implementation, critical reading
Students can schedule up to 5 appointments per week, and the appointment intake form allows students to identify specific needs for each appointment.
What to Expect: In a Synchronous Writing Session, students should expect to engage in a conversation about their writing and assignments; therefore, work is read live within the session and discussed collaboratively. Professional and Peer Writing Specialists do not proofread or judge student work, and while we assist with revision decisions, Professional/Peer Writing Specialists do not function as an editing service.
