Scheduling

We provide tutoring help at all levels of the communications process: brainstorming and planning, draft content and structure feedback, logic and language help. For presentation tutoring, we can go over your slides with you, or listen and give feedback on content delivery techniques as you practice an upcoming presentation.

Once you have created an account at www.temple.mywconline.com, click on any WHITE block to make an appointment.

If all the time slots that suit you are booked, click on the clock icon for that day to be notified of any cancelations. You can add your phone number for text alerts by clicking your name to the upper left.

  • Any draft or text you have completed so far (hard copy or digital)

Online tutoring appointments:

  • You must have a functioning webcam, speakers and microphone.
  • You must have a connection fast enough to support real-time webcam video.
  • Please try to conduct your tutoring sessions in a quiet room where you will not be interrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there walk-in hours?

Yes, if an appointment is immediately available, you can book it upon arrival at the BCC and use that time slot. (For record-keeping purposes, all appointments MUST be booked before they can commence.)

How do I set up an account?

Go to www.temple.mywconline.com and follow the instructions.

How far in advance can I book an appointment?

Two weeks 

How many appointments can I make per week?

You can book up to three hours per week, and they can be any combination of half-hour or hour-long appointments.

What if I come to the Business Communication Center, but my grade doesn’t improve?

We do not guarantee grades. We are here to help, but you alone are responsible for the grades you receive.

What if I have to cancel an appointment?

You may cancel up to one hour before an appointment. To cancel, please email us at .

What happens if I am late for an appointment?

If you are 15 minutes late, you are considered a “no show.”

What happens if I don’t show up for an appointment that I’ve scheduled?

If you accumulate two “no shows,” you must speak with our tutor coordinator (), or our director () before you will be allowed to make further appointments.

Can I tell the tutor: ‘Just fix my stuff, yo.’?

No. The tutor-client relationship is built on professionalism and mutual respect. If you feel disrespected or discriminated against, you should contact the BCC director (jimmypmiller@temple.edu) immediately. If a tutor feels disrespected by you, the BCC may prevent you from scheduling any further appointments with that tutor or remove you from our system entirely.

Why do you want a photocopy of my paper?

We reserve the right to photocopy any paper brought to the BCC; we primarily do this for training purposes.

Can I make back-to-back appointments so I can have an hour with a tutor?

Yes, you may make back-to-back appointments.
