If you need support preparing for an upcoming test, schedule an appointment with a Peer Academic Coach.

Coaches also have body doubling appointments available that can serve as accountability sessions for you to sit down and get things done!  Appointments can be scheduled through the  Navigate Student App or the JayhawkGPS website. 

The Wingspan’s writing consultants are trained as peer educators, meaning they work with writers to learn new strategies, with the goal of helping writers edit their own writing. This means that while the consultant will not edit your paper for you, they will still talk about wording and grammar, teach editing techniques, discuss your wording options, and let you choose what to change in your own papers. Ultimately, you can continue growing and improving as a writer.  

The Wingspan’s writing support services span any type of writing assignment that you may have. This is not limited to only papers for your English class, but any writing for any class. Additionally, writing support can be offered to students for personal writing projects including graduate school personal statements, creative writing, and more!  

Yes, tutoring as well as all Wingspan services are completely free for students!
