Writing Center Free Appointments

Writing Center Appointments

We offer free writing tutoring sessions with certified peer tutors, in-person or online. In these 45-minute sessions, you can discuss any kind of writing at any stage in the process. Tutors are able to answer writing questions, identify patterns in your writing, make recommendations, and help come up with a plan for moving forward. After you have met with a tutor, you will be able to access notes recapping what happened in the session by reviewing your visit history in our scheduling system. (See below to access and set up an appointment).

Writing Center 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.
