Tutor Services
The Center for Writing Excellence is made up of mainly graduate English students and English major upperclassmen, although we are multidisciplinary and multilingual.
Tutors will work with you at any stages of writing, from brainstorming an idea, to a final last look. We can even assist with the preparatory notes and planning for your oral presentation.
The tutors are free to assist you with writing, not to edit your papers. Of course, they are more than happy to explain problems that you are having, but do not expect them to "correct" your papers. Each session is intended to be a learning experience.
We believe the study of writing is vital. Learning to organize our thoughts and express them logically teaches us how to think critically. Becoming aware of our audience and of different points of view makes us more ethical human beings. Also, learning to communicate well gives us the tools we need to enter into the discourse of our chosen fields.
If you have a paper that is 10 pages or more, we ask that you make an appointment, so that we can be as thorough as possible. An appointment will also help you from having to stand in line.
If you prefer, we also now have synchronous online tutoring. Check out the link for more information, including an instructional video.
Refer to the schedule to see when tutors are available.
