The English Center offers tutoring services in writing and reading for students. However, the consultants work with students from other courses as well. More specifically, the consultants in the English Center can help you get started writing by teaching you how to brainstorm for ideas. Consultants can help you learn to organize those ideas and to develop plans for your papers. Once you have a draft, consultants can answer your questions about how to revise your papers and even read drafts to see if they make sense.
Consultants can also answer questions about sentence structure and punctuation.
The consultants in the English Center are undergraduate and graduate students recommended by faculty members and administrators to work in the Center. They have all received special training in consulting with students about writing and reading. Many are experienced teachers of composition and Great Books courses. You may call and make an appointment to work with a consultant at a particular time. In order for the consultant to help you with assignments, you need to bring a copy of the handout describing the assignment and your textbook.
