The Center for Talent Development is here to strengthen your experience at Dakota Wesleyan University, and offers various workshops, trainings and services to help. Whether you are looking for guidance on how to speak to professors or struggling in calculus, check out the events and services below to see how we can help.
These services are available free to all students, and aim to help students supplement their in-class instruction with out-of-class reinforcement and support. To this end, AAA provides free tutoring, workshops, coordinates study groups and provides study materials for students who show an active interest and need for them. |

Free Peer Tutoring
Tutors are hired based on recommendation from, and work in consultation with, the course instructors to ensure proper reinforcement and focus on course material. Our tutors have a combination of drop-in hours as well as by-appointment availability. To request a tutor or find drop-in hours, please contact Angie Van Pelt at anvanpel@dwu.edu or 995-2931.
Student-led Study
Groups
Studying with others who reinforce and challenge your understanding
of course material is an invaluable learning strategy. The Center for
Talent Development can coordinate group study time and space to help
these student-led efforts, as well as provide study materials (flashcards,
for instance) to the participating students. If you are interested in
joining or starting a formal study group, please speak with your instructor
or contact the Center Talent Development.
*Instructors – if you would like to request
a tutor or study group for your course, please contact the Center for
Talent Development for information on how to do so.
