Online or In-Person Appointments

To make an appointment, you can walk in by visiting the second floor of Chalmers Library (see map below), or you can sign up for an appointment ahead of time. We recommend scheduling ahead of time at busy points of the semester like midterms and finals week when it might be hard to get a walk-in appointment.

If you need help navigating our new online scheduling software, WCOnline, you can find videos explaining it on our YouTube channel or by consulting this accessible handout. We also regularly post information on our social media accounts @KenyonWCC. You can also always email Director Anna Scanlon during the semester at scanlon1@kenyon.edu with questions.

What to Expect

In an appointment, you can bring anything from a prompt to ask questions about to ideas to brainstorm to a few paragraphs to a final draft. If you do have something written, it's a good idea to come in with a question that will help keep the focus of the appointment on what concerns you most. We also recommend that if you're working on something for academics, you bring the writing prompt or assignment with you.

Appointment Options

You can meet with a writing consultant remotely or in person. We offer a few other options you may not know about in our tutoring center:

  • Private Tutoring Rooms: We do have private rooms for tutoring if the open space in Chalmers Library is not for you. You can either request one when you make an appointment using our online scheduling software under the “accommodations” fill-in-the-blank option or you can let us know when you arrive!

  • Group Appointments: We encourage group appointments if you’ve been assigned a group project in your course. If you’re interested in making a group appointment, please email Director Anna Scanlon at scanlon1@kenyon.edu, and she’ll set you up for an online or in-person group appointment.

  • Recurring Appointments: If you’re interested in meeting with the same tutor on a weekly or every-other-weekly basis, let us know by emailing Director Scanlon at scanlon1@kenyon.edu. She can set you up with recurring appointments so that you have a scheduled time every (other) week to see the same writing tutor.
