The Writing Center provides high quality tutoring for all enrolled students. Writers learn while sharing work in progress and making revisions based on feedback. Our professionally trained staff provides one-on-one tutorials, workshops, and classroom presentations to support the writing needs of students in all disciplines.

Students from all majors and courses on campus can meet with a writing tutor at any point in the writing process—from developing ideas to drafting to revising. For example, writing tutors can help with:

understanding an assignment
thesis and support
organization
clarity and coherence
audience analysis
research issues
documenting sources: APA & MLA citation styles, paraphrasing, and directly quoting
avoiding plagiarism
grammar, punctuation, and spelling
