Writing Center
If You Write, You Belong Here
Fall 2023 tutoring available online and onsite September 5th - December 8th
The Writing Center works collaboratively with undergraduates and graduate students to develop and craft their writing. Usually, tutors first address larger issues, such as focus, organization, and development; then, tutors assist writers with sentence-level issues, such as grammar, punctuation, and diction. We welcome questions about any part of the reading, writing, and research process.
When you make your appointment, you may choose a session that is one-time only or weekly, which allows you to meet with the same tutor on the same day and time each week. You can sign up from 2 days to 10 days in advance on StanTutor.
Offered Fall & Spring terms.
Same Day tutoring is provided online or in-person on a first-come, first-served basis. Stop by the Learning Commons front desk or call 667-3642 after 9:00 am to sign in for one of the day’s available 25-minute sessions. You may request 1 session per day, up to 2 per week.

Writing Center tutors are undergraduate and graduate students from across disciplines.

Students and tutors have access to links, handouts, and other interactive resources to get help with a variety of writing issues and concerns. Our Writer's Online Resource Directory (W.O.R.D.) can be accessed during a tutoring session in the Writing Center or on your personal device.
We encourage students enrolled in WP courses to schedule weekly appointments with a tutor early in the term. Tutors will work alongside you to develop your disciplinary-specific reading, research, and writing abilities.
The Faculty Resources page provides information for classes incorporating one hour of workshops in the Writing Center (ENGL 1006 & ESL courses). Including a referral form and guidance on providing feedback on student writing.
