Students with strong writing skills and a minimum GPA of 3.0 can apply to work as writing center tutors.

Tutors may specialize in writing requirements across the curriculum or a specific academic discipline.

For more information, contact our staff.

Bring a completed paper for review, a started paper, a pile of notes, or just plain panic! Be sure to bring a copy of your professor’s assignment sheet or syllabus and your reading materials. If you plan to use our computers, please save your paper to your Google Drive to access it in the writing center.

• Tutors can get you started and help you overcome the “blank page” terror — not knowing how to begin or what to write.
• Tutors can teach you how to plan, draft, revise, edit, and correct your grammar and spelling.
• Tutors serve as a preliminary audience and ask questions about your paper to help you improve it.
• Sequenced tutorials can help you review areas of grammar and usage as applied to written prose.

But …

• Tutors can’t guarantee improved grades! They can teach you to revise your writing.
• Tutors don’t offer a quick fix! They do help, but you’re expected to do your checking and editing.
• Tutors can’t be a last-minute solution! Tutors aren’t expected to work overtime if you arrive shortly before closing time.
• Tutors don’t edit papers.

The writing center serves all students– both undergraduate and graduate– in all courses. We can help students in every phase of the writing process, including brainstorming ideas, identifying grammatical errors, fixing citations, and making revisions.

International students can also receive support for their writing through our specialists in additional language learning. Please contact [email protected] for information on how to make an appointment with our specialists.
