Writing & Tutoring Center
The Writing and Tutoring Center (WTC) focuses on empowering students to become independent and successful learners by developing their literacy skills, enhancing their understanding, and helping them improve their academic and study skills. WTC offers tutoring and writing consultations to all AUK students, and collaborates with faculty, department chairs, and deans of colleges to continuously develop more effective learning support and classroom workshops. WTC works with faculty and other support units on campus to understand, develop, and improve academic support to supplement class learning, and to recognize and respect the rights and equality of all who seek assistance.
Students can schedule appointments through the TutorTrac online appointment system, or they can drop in for assistance.
