All services are located in the Smucker Learning Center. The Center is located in the B-wing of the Wayne College main building and contains computers in an open computer lab, an expanded tutoring area and group study rooms allowing students greater privacy during tutoring sessions

 
Tutoring

Students may obtain academic assistance in many subjects from a peer or a professional tutor, a computer tutorial, or a videotape. All students can work on developing college-level study skills and learn to retain what they read in their textbooks. Peer tutors, who are students at Wayne College and/or the Akron campus, are hired for any course requested by a student, subject to availability. Peer tutors are internationally certified through the College Reading and Learning Association. The Center's director, coordinators, and learning assistants will help students identify their academic problems and use the Center's materials.

Students involved in writing projects for any course are encouraged to seek writing assistance in The Smucker Learning Center. Professional writing tutors will help students generate and develop their ideas, assist with the organization of their material, and provide strategies for proofreading their final drafts.
