Meet with a tutor
We have peer tutors available to meet with you to help you at any step of the writing process.
Welcome Letter
Do you have a writing assignment? We can help! In fact, we can also help with cover letters, personal statements, and other writing projects.
The Judith G. Gardner Center for Writing Excellence is the campus resource that helps the entire UT San Antonio Community with various writing projects, questions, and challenges. Our experienced tutors provide assistance to current undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty/staff members with each step of the writing process: brainstorming, establishing a thesis, achieving coherence and unity, documenting, and revising. Our tutors will help you edit and proofread your essays and will help you improve your own editing skills.
We encourage students to visit early and frequently throughout the writing process. You do not need to have a completed draft before you meet with a tutor.
Visit us at the Main Campus in the JPL building (2.01.12D). We also offer online tutoring seven days a week where you can upload your essay and chat live with a tutor. To see our most current schedule or to make an appointment, register for our appointment system at utsa.mywconline.com.
Faculty members: Please see additional informational regarding workshops and class presentations in the Faculty section of our website.
If you have any questions about our scheduling system or about the tutoring process, please email me at martha.smith@utsa.edu or call the Writing Center at (210) 458-6086.
We look forward to seeing you in The Writing Center.

A Community to Help You Succeed
“Honestly, I procrastinated going to the center even though it was extra credit so I did it at the last minute. But I wish I would've done it earlier because truthfully it was a lot of help with brainstorming and getting my essay started. I would recommend to others!”
