Written communication skills are vital in the work force, and the VWC allows me an opportunity to polish and improve my skills, while completing my classroom assignments. Dr. Rabin has been working with me for the past three semesters, and she has earned my trust through my learning process. I would highly encourage all the students to utilize this program. Start today and build a relationship with one of the tutors. Take the time to filter your school assignments through the VWC. You will be the one that gains from developing this vital skill.

I was having trouble wrapping my mind around a writing assignment. I had all the ideas but they were floating in space and not congestive. The tutor I worked with not only helped with that but pointed out several critical structure errors that more solidly pulled my piece together.
Thank you for providing this service!!!

My tutor was Simon Ward. I had him 2 times in a row. The first time, my computer wasn't working and we went over the paper via phone call. The second time, his mic wasn't working and we used the chat. He is very professional and friendly. Extremely helpful. I would recommend this service and Prof. Ward to anyone in school!

I have had the continued and great fortune to have had Simon's help in the past. Each time, he goes above and beyond to help me find my voice for my papers. With his suggestions through questions, he helps me think through my paper to improve it. He's not only a fantastic tutor, but exceptional, patience, and knowledgable instructor. I cannot thank him enough for all his help.

I loved this option. I usually go to the writing center at the Arnold campus. However, this was amazing, I was able to be in the comfort of my home and get advice. I highly suggest using the virtual writing center. My only critique is that I wish they had more appointment times available.

Ms. Liz was very helpful even if we weren’t able to access the virtual writing center due to technical issue. She responded promptly through email and explained the areas that needs to be corrected in my resume.

I was never required to utilize the wring center until I took my current class. I love the feedback that I received. This session gave me a chance to work out some areas of my paper that I could not make flow. I wish I had used this service in the past. This service can help you take a good paper to the next level.

I did the online session before I turned my paper in. The session gave me a complete different view of my paper and helped with organization and clarifying my ideas.

Being as I had taken a long break from school I pretty much had to learn to be a student all over again. This was really helpful in going over some basic skills to proofread and tackle future assignments more confidently.

This did not answer any of my immediate questions and I almost felt more confused at the end than I did at the beginning. After doing some more research on my own the answers made sense.

My writing assignment was peruse for grammatical errors, but more happens. I'm learning to strengthen and unify my paragraphs through well communicated topic sentences. Dr. Rabin has a wealth of knowledge, but she style opens the door for more learning. I'm so very thankful.
Thank you for your support. Dr. Rabin has helped me bring build better topic sentences and bring unity to my paragraphs. She makes this process simple. If you want to expand your written communication skills, VWC is willing to help. I can't say thank you enough times. This is a miracle for the student.
This is a must. Thank you for offering the writing support and at home convenience. My written skills are in need of extra help. Your tutors/professors really perform without making you feel inferior. Thank you so much.
Dr. Rabin is helping me to think on a deeper level as she supports my written and organizational skills. This is a must do as part of the writing process. Thank you for this program.
So far in my class, I've worked with the virtual writing center for my first three written assignments, a paper and two discussion posts. You have to use this support service. Dr. Rabin has helped me in so many ways. She's encouraging and listens to me. Invest in your potential by going the distance and building on your written communication skills. This is a program willing to help!
Thank you for this service. My professor was kind, honest, extremely intelligent and precise. I give the maximum rating. I will use the service again and hope for the same professor.
04-27-2017 1:30 PMDr. Kobylinski at the Virtual Writing Center
After several attempts using the writing center in the Library, I found that the 30 minute sessions offered did not allow enough time to make it through my 1500 word paper. The sessions in the library were helpful, but 30 minutes was just not enough time. So, I scheduled an appointment at the Virtual Writing Center with Dr. Wayne Kobylinski. I emailed him my paper prior to our online scheduled meeting, and upon signing into the Blackboard Collaborative platform he had my paper up and ready to go. I was surprised how quickly Dr. Kobylinski could read through my paper while pointing issues with grammer, punctuation, flow and cohesion. He would let me know if my thesis was strong enough and point out areas where I veered off topic. He was also amazing with the Works Cited and in text citation information. I recommend using the Virtual Writing Center. Doing the session online is just as good as in person, sound and video is available, you can do it from home, and the session is 60 minutes which is certainly better for those with longer papers. I highly recommend scheduling a session with Dr. Kobylinski if he is available.
Mr. Ward was incredibly helpful and put me at ease. He clarified any questions I had. I was reluctant to use this service, but was required by my professor. I will use the writing center again in the future. I would recommend this service to anyone who has a paper to write or may need help with a speech. Keep in mind appointments fill up fast so book early.
These sessions have been invaluable. As someone who perceives themself as a strong writer, I never would have thought I would need tutoring. What I'm finding is that I actually really appreciate the tutoring, and I suggest it to anyone who takes an online course, especially if it is a course in English, Literature or Communications. Professor Rabin is awesome and I feel like I have someone in my corner who is really rooting for me to succeed. She finds ways to explain things that are critical but supportive, rather than making me feel bad about myself or my writing. She is absolutely awesome, and has a great attitude. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I have received tremendous guidance for my paper from Dr. Rabin and Dr. Palumbo. I have had three session so far and both have helped greatly in my focus, grammar, and just about every aspect of writing for this paper. They are easy to understand and if all you have to do is ask!
I recommend using the virtual writing center multiple times!
I used the writing tutor service today, and I was throughly impressed. Dr. Rabin started the session by asking what I needed help with (for example: grammar, active voice, concise, clarity, etc). Dr. Rabin pointed out the errors, explained why it was an error, and helped correct the sentence. Overall, the service was easy to use and extremely helpful. I plan to use the service again for future papers.
02-13-2017 10:01 AMProfessor Simon Ward is wonderful
I have used the Virtual Writing Center twice and both times I have scheduled with Professor Simon Ward. The content I had reviewed was a resume and cover letter for two different courses. He took the time to really go over my content and offered recommendations that did make my material better. He was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely schedule with him again.
It was very helpful, but I wish that they were able to record the session so that I could go back to it to make sure I was able to make all the corrections that were suggested. I might have to come in for a face-to-face session to make sure that I have everything correct.
06-22-2016 6:43 AMExcellent advice on paper from writing tutor
Last night Jill M read through my paper and have me excellent advice on how to expand certain ideas on line with the instructions of the professor. Boot only dos it improve the quality of the paper and it's more clear answer to the assignment. I also thought more deeply about the topic
Dr. Hill is wonderful. She was patient and very helpful. This was my first time trying the Virtual Writing Center it has proven to be a very useful tool. I will be utilizing this tool again.
My experience with the Virtual Writing Center has been positive. Dr. Maria Palumbo help me proof read my essay. Dr. Palumbo was very professional and helpful. I would highly recommend the Virtual Writing Center and Dr. Palumbo.
I had an appointment with Dr Rabin to discuss an essay I am writing for her class. I found the session very helpful, and the virtual writing center was easy to use and convenient.
I was very pleased on the professionalism of the level of services provided. Librarian was very sharp with listening and also giving me information. I feel comfortable knowing that if I put the work into my english class along with the guide of the you tutors I should be fine.
Was a great experience, the tutor really went over each sentence and made sure my paper flowed well. I only would suggest this if you have a short paper or split it into a few sessions. Great time and it helped a lot.
Why can't all schools do this? Incredibly helpful and patient. Everyone should use this. The Virtual Writing Center is very convenient when you are very busy but need the help.
The only issue that I had during this entire process was actually getting onto blackboard collaboration, it took much longer than 30 seconds (more like 5+ minuets) all-in-all this isn’t a big issue, but I suggest you update the website to inform students of this so they don’t get nervous like I did and think that the black board collaboration isn’t working.
The blackboard collaboration itself was very easy to navigate! I love the fact that you can share what you are doing on the screen with the tutor! It helps make a tutoring session quick an efficient! Janice Lathrop was extremely knowledgeable and made my first time using Blacknoard collaboration easy. This whole experience aided me a lot in my research for my paper and i will definitely be using/recommending it again.
Thanks Janice!!
I had a great experience with online tutoring with one of the instructors in virtual writing center, named Rosemery Harty. I received a great help and had feedback on my grammar, and structure of unified paragraph. I would recommend it to other students as well!
I have been told that I have run-on sentences, but after discussing my paper logically, it turns out that nowadays I suffer from just the opposite and fragmented sentences. I appreciated that my tutor walked me through my essay and pointed out my faults and demonstrated options for re-wording that made sense. I feel that she understood exactly what I was trying to get across in my essay. I will utilize the VWC of Anne Arundel throughout my pursuit towards my degree.
I met with ms. Dix online and she was so helpful with assisting me. I will definitely use this resource as much as possible. Thank you for being so helpful.
I had my first tutoring session with Ms. Rosemary Harty last night. She was extremely helpful with the revision of my first essay for ENG-111. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for another session, on Saturday night, with Mr. John Cestone. I just want to make sure all the revisions that I made are up to par. I think it's fantastic that you all take the time to do this for us students. A wise man(my brother)once told me, "The most precious gift you can ever give anyone is your time." Thank You, Lisa Kennedy
