Writing Center

About the Writing Center

The THINK TANK Writing Center offers a variety of services that are student-focused, faculty-supporting, and community-serving. Emphasizing peer collaboration, we help each writer grow over the course of their career at the University of Arizona through several styles of consultations, workshops, and events.

The Writing Center offers free consultations by appointment with trained and certified peer tutors. Our tutors offer helpful feedback on any kind of writing at any point in the process—even before there are words on the page. During each session, tutors get acquainted with the student’s writing, answer questions, identify patterns, make recommendations, and help the student come up with a plan for moving forward. Tutors can serve as a second set of eyes on personal statements, application essays, lab reports, theses, dissertations, resumes, creative writing, and even professional emails.
