Tutoring Services Scheduling Options
Tutors offer one-on-one Online Live (synchronous), as well as Online Live group tutoring sessions, and Online (asynchronous) tutoring sessions to help with your writing and learning needs. Below, the types of sessions are explained:
Online - Asynchronous Session Option: Don’t have time to meet in real-time? Just upload your document and a tutor will provide feedback. When scheduling this type of session, be sure to upload your draft on which you would like feedback. Once you upload your draft, your tutor will provide feedback within a 24-hour period.
Online Live - Synchronous Session Option: Want to work with someone face-to-face, but not drive to a specific Baker meeting location? You will want to choose a synchronous session. This means that you will work with the tutor online (via Zoom) in real-time. You can use the audio, video, Chat function, as well as the white board to work together in real-time. For this type of appointment, click on your tutor's Zoom link (located in their bio) during the scheduled time of your session.
For more information regarding what additional student support is available, please see the MyBaker Academic Resource Center page.

Important Information and Reminders:
How do I log in? Your WCOnline account information is not linked to your MyBaker account. To get started, be sure to register for an account. If you have password trouble, e-mail us at tutoring@baker.edu
Where can I find my feedback if I schedule an asynchronous appointment? Log into https://baker.mywconline.com and click on the day/time of your appointment. Your feedback will be located on your appointment form.
Important Reminder: The primary role of a tutor is to support and guide students in their academic work, including assignments and projects. Tutors are available to assist students in a variety of ways, such as helping them interpret assignment guidelines, work through mathematical problems, engage with any stage of the writing process, and better understand complex concepts, theories, and their practical applications.
However, it is important to understand that tutors are not permitted to complete assignments on behalf of students, take tests or quizzes for them, write or edit their papers, or predict grades or outcomes for any assignment. The final authority on all coursework, including assessment and feedback, rests with the course instructor. Tutor support is intended to complement—not replace—instructor guidance and evaluation.
