REAL Center (in-person)
In-person tutoring is especially helpful if you're taking on-campus classes or like to discuss your work face-to-face. The REAL Center offers 25-minute tutoring sessions at the following locations:
Southern Wake Campus
Building B, Room 392
Scott Northern Wake Campus
Building E, Room 230
No appointments are necessary, but hours of operation vary depending on tutor availability.
Virtual REAL Center (email)
Email tutoring is especially helpful if you like to go back and review written feedback or if your busy schedule makes appointments difficult.
NOTE: Upload files as attachments to your email. Please use .docx or .rtf files only. No PDFs, SharePoint, OneDrive or Google links.
Tutors will review your draft and email you feedback. Please allow one business day to receive feedback after your submission has been accepted. You may receive your feedback after business hours.
Virtual REAL Center (video chat)
Video chat tutoring offers the best of both worlds. Make an appointment to discuss your writing with a tutor via Microsoft Teams. It's a great option for learners who like to interact and discuss in real time but can't make it to campus.
NOTE: Hours of operation vary depending on tutor availability.
Tips for using the centers
Plan in advance – leave enough time for tutoring and revisions before your assignment is due.
A single assignment can be reviewed up to three times.
Tutors can help you understand grammar rules but cannot proofread or "mark up" papers.
If you can't make a scheduled appointment, please cancel, reschedule or notify tutors in advance by email. In fairness to all students, multiple "no show" appointments may limit your ability to use the center.
No comments on what grade you might earn will be offered. Students are responsible for making corrections to their work and contacting their instructor with grading questions.
For each session, tutors spend about 25 minutes on your assignment. You may need to use the center more than once to have all of your concerns addressed.
The center is closed on weekends and college holidays/closings.
