The Write to Excellence Center (WTEC) is a free resource to help students, faculty and staff develop and strengthen their writing skills.

Our tutors provide guidance for all steps of the writing process, from brainstorming to final draft revisions. Tutors are prepared to help you improve your writing in any academic discipline. In addition, we can help you break down your assignments into manageable chunks and pace yourself. You can also use the space for study.

  • Outlining
  • Content Development
  • Thesis Statements
  • Introductions/ Conclusions
  • Essay Organization
  • Use of Sources
  • Word Choices
  • Sentence Structure
  • Grammar/Mechanics

Tutors can also provide assistance with other forms of professional writing, including résumé development and writing for academic publications. While tutors do not proof read or line-edit for you, they can help you develop your personal proof reading skills. To schedule an appointment, visit: mcneese.mywconline.com or download the EAB Navigate Student app.

LitLab

Students can also receive assistance in understanding literature and other reading materials from classes by indicating on the appointment form what services they need. All appointments are in the WTEC and are scheduled through the same system.

Face-to-Face and E-Tutoring

While face-to-face appointments are more effective, students may opt to make e-tutoring appointments, which are asynchronous. For e-tutoring appointments, you must attach your essay prompt as a Word document to your appointment block (do not send PDF or shared docs, etc.) and also attach assignment instructions. Tutors have up to two business days to respond with comments. There is a helpful video for this on the mcneese.mywconline.com page, which you’ll see after you sign in.

Not sure you’re in the right place? If you’re looking for help with your science, mathematics, or engineering classes, make an appointment with the Academic Computing and Learning Center.
