Tutoring is provided through appointment and walk-in service.

We're here to help you expand your abilities to write, think, and create!

Through one-on-one help with such things as grammar and mechanics, research strategies, planning, and organization, we can help you gain confidence in your writing. We can also help you prepare for the Writing Competency Exam and the PPST. Feel free to come to us for feedback on your creative writing projects, speeches, and presentations. Let us help you form writing groups to address your needs as a writer.

We're available to assist you with any writing task -- course paper, resume, abstract, short story, -- at any stage of development, from figuring out what you want to say to revising a close-to-final draft. If you're a non-native speaker of English, we can help you with such things as idioms, verb tenses, and use of articles. If literature has never been your strong point, we can help you interpret a poem, short story or play. We won't proofread your papers for you, but we'll help you find strategies and build on strengths in order to become a better writer.
