Why Tutoring?

Attending tutoring means you are investing time inside and outside the tutoring session in understanding the subject and implementing the critical thinking and problem-solving technique taught to you by the tutor.

There is no tutoring on days when WIU is closed and classes are not in session.  There is also no tutoring during final exam week.

Not all tutoring takes place through the Student Learning Center.  Please click here to see a list of departmental tutoring offerings.

How Does It Work?

Tutoring is FREE and conveniently offered in person on the Macomb campus at the Malpass Library (2nd floor) Monday through Friday and Sunday or virtually through https://wiuslc.mywconline.com/.  If this is your first time scheduling, you will have to set up an account using your WIU email.

Walk in Tutoring - you will still need to create an account and then check in with the Tutor Greeter or Tutor during the daytime and Sunday hours when you arrive.
