"This was an amazing experience. I got so much out of the e tutor. She was very helpful and encouraging. If you have not used this service you are not getting all the help available in your collage writing assessments." - eTutoring student

"[My tutor] was incredibly patient and thorough in explaining how to solve the problems I presented her. I appreciate how sensitive to my stress-level she was, and how helpful she was!!!" - eTutoring student

"[My tutor] was so helpful. She was patient and very informative. She spent time with the thought process of the material and ensured I understood. When she did not know something, she took time to seek alternative ways to solve the problem and offered options and additional resources. I appreciate her. Thank you." - eTutoring student

"Our Writing Center is not currently open on as many days or for as long each day as many students would like. The next best option for them is eTutoring. Without eTutoring these students who cannot attend normal Writing Center hours would not be able to get any sort of professional, free help with their papers. They would essentially be left dead in the water — many students are mothers, caretakers, or are disabled, which can highly limit the available time that they have to get help with their papers. - Writing Lab eTutor

"At our Tutoring Center, we assign students to one-on-one tutors for nearly any class/subject area, for the duration of the quarter. However, we don't always have enough tutors to go around, or tutors with the right subject area expertise. It has been a huge help to be able to refer students to eTutoring when we can't immediately provide an on-site tutor for them. Our students really appreciate having this option available to them, and it fills some critical gaps for us in our efforts to support our students." - Coordinator at member institution

"As an eTutor, I've had the opportunity to help students all over the country who might not otherwise receive the help they need. eTutoring's flexibility helps students who are in rural areas or who don't have access to transportation. It helps online students and students with disabilities who may not have access to tutoring centers. Finally, the wide range of colleges that use the service benefit because their students have access to tutors in less popular subjects like Web Design or Excel. Most small colleges don't provide tutors in these subjects but by pooling resources in eTutoring, all the students at all the colleges now have access to tutors." - eTutor

"Our college piloted several solutions for online tutoring ranging from completely home-grown to completely outsourced, with unsatisfactory results for several years prior to our discovery of the Western eTutoring Consortium. The consortium approach was a great fit with our college culture and goals, and the students who have used the service have valued it very highly. The engagement of our own tutors with WeTC also is a great opportunity for them to expand their skills and knowledge as a tutor, and to help inform broader conversations at our institution about the provision of online student support services." - Coordinator at member institution
