Darrell PLUS Center

The Darrell PLUS Center, located in the Library Learning Center, provides many services to all KWC students including peer tutoring, study sessions, writing, reading, math, and study skills assistance. One great thing about going to a small school like Kentucky Wesleyan is the amount of individual help students can get with classes. First of all, professors can offer answers to questions students have. They are here to help and can get students on the right track.

Sometimes, though, students decide they need even more help, especially in the evenings and during the weekend. That's where the PLUS Center can help. The PLUS Center offers the following FREE services:

STUDY SESSIONS

The PLUS Center offers free study sessions for courses when two or more students request them. Also, if professors request sessions for their classes, the PLUS Center sets them up. Study sessions are led by tutors recommended by professors. Usually four to ten students attend these sessions, so they can receive some individual attention.

INDIVIDUAL TUTORING

Sometimes students need to meet one-on-one with a tutor. If so, the PLUS Center can give names and telephone numbers of tutors recommended for specific courses. Again, this service is free to all Kentucky Wesleyan students.

ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE

The PLUS Center offers services to all students to help them improve in their academic work. If students need help on a paper for any subject, the Director, a member of the English faculty, or a tutor recommended by an English faculty member will work with them individually to increase writing effectiveness. Also, the PLUS Center has trained reading specialists and math specialists to help students succeed in their classes.

TESTING AND SPECIAL SERVICES

The PLUS Center administers various tests and serves as a residual test center for the ACT. The PLUS Center also serves students with special needs in testing and note-taking, working with the 504 Coordinator to provide assistance when needed.

WORKSHOPS

Throughout the school year, the PLUS Center offers free workshops open to all Wesleyan students including informational sessions on taking the GRE and LSAT, test-taking and note-taking workshops, and workshops for writing students.
