Services for Writing

Onsite: The foundation of our support for writers is face-to-face conferences with our highly trained writing consultants. Our consultants range from Graduate Assistants to Peer Tutors who hail from a variety of academic disciplines. Strong writers and communicators, they can assist students at all stages of writing, from brainstorming a topic through revising a completed paper.

Online: For off-campus and nontraditional students who cannot attend face-to-face conferences in person, we offer the option of asynchronous online tutoring in writing on a limited basis. This service is recommended for students who have completed writing their draft, but would like the benefits of thoughtful commentary. If your essay is in an earlier stage of development, we suggest scheduling an onsite face-to-face conference with a writing consultant.

Tutoring in writing, as well as various other subjects, is also available through Smarthinking.

Services for Modern Language Proficiency

Onsite: Our consultants help students with writing, reading comprehension, vocabulary building, grammar, pronunciation, and conversation skills. If you need assistance learning a language not currently supported in the Writing Center, contact us and we can make arrangements to ensure you have access to a qualified modern language consultant.

Online: Our website links to many valuable resources such as dictionaries, grammar guides, and other interactive learning tools.
