Mission Statement
The mission of the Student Success Center is to provide an open facility in which to offer support services and appropriate teaching strategies so that all WVU Parkersburg students can become independent, self-directed learners and successfully complete college-level work.

Philosophy
Tutoring is a supplement to classroom instruction and the learning process. It serves to clarify ideas, theories, and processes. Tutoring gives the students an opportunity to ask questions and express ideas, while they build an organized thinking process for the discipline. A tutor may provide supplemental assistance to the classroom learning by incorporating effective study skills strategies with strong content understanding to build self-directed learners.
  • A good tutor should exhibit the following: sensitivity, good communication, punctuality, preparedness, patience, creativity, and confidence in self and in the student.
  • Tutoring should develop positive attitudes about studying, tutoring, and education. Tutoring should develop lines of communication between the Center’s staff, students, and faculty.
