Fall 2020   To prevent virus spread, our tutoring is remote only (no in-person options are available) for fall 2020. Please click here for details to help you choose the best online tutoring option for you.   Please request your appointment and submit your paper via our online submission form here.   You do NOT need to schedule an appointment through TutorTrac when you submit your paper for online response; we will schedule the appointment for you.

 

What We Do: 

Writers need feedback from readers to help refine their writing. The Writing Center can give you this feedback. Our tutors will talk with you about your writing to help you:

• brainstorm ideas

• clarify main points

• strengthen logic and support

• smooth out organization

• integrate sources and credit them properly

• fine-tune sentence style

• learn to proofread

Because we want to help you become a better writer, we won't edit or proofread your paper for you. We will help you learn to revise and edit so you will be better able to catch your own errors and improve your own content, organization, and style.
