On-Campus Help

The Writing Tutors are available to help any currently-enrolled Wellesley student with any writing assignment--short or long--for any class. There's no need to request a writing tutor: you can make an appointment yourself.
 

Professional and specially-trained peer tutors are also available to provide support for students who speak English as a second language. These tutors offer one-on-one tutoring focusing on language usage, including grammar, pronunciation, word choice, and reading comprehension, as well as other aspects of oral and written expression. Appointments can be made through the online scheduler. See the Resources for Multilingual Students webpage for more information.
