Writing Across the Curriculum - Loyola University New Orleans 1. Tutoring services are offered free of charge. No appointments are necessary at the Bobet 100 WAC Writing center . WAC tutors are undergraduates trained to assist others in all phases of the writing process, from planning and pre-writing to revision and editing.
Tutors also attend training workshops each subsequent semester on staff.
WAC employs approximately 30 tutors each year. WAC tutors are available daily to assist students with writing assignments. Tutors are trained to help others with thesis statements, organization, paragraph development, and sentence structure. Because WAC tutors are themselves students but not necessarily grammarians, they do not usually mark grammar and mechanics. Instead, they provide tutoring aimed at helping students recognize strengths and weaknesses in their writing so that writers can begin to spot their own errors and correct them.
