The Writing Center's peer and instructor-tutors are ready to help you at any point in the writing process, from just getting started and finding a topic all the way through brainstorming, organizing ideas, drafting, revision, and editing. We pose questions about your own intentions and desires about a particular assignment or piece of writing, in order to help you to find your own way. We promise to work closely with you towards a common goal of increasing your self-confidence and skill as a writer.
Students sign up on a sheet kept on a clip-board by the main desk.
The average session is about 20 minutes, depending on how busy we are. Also, write down particular questions you would like to see covered in the session. Please don't ask us to rewrite your paper for you or to edit it line by line. Also, it doesn't help to complain about your instructor or your grades. We can't do much to change your teacher, and the purpose of tutoring isn't really to get a particular grade.
