Writing Center
If You Write, You Belong Here
Spring 2025 tutoring available online and onsite Feb 10 - May 16
- In Person: Monday through Friday & Sunday
- Online: Monday, Thursday & Sunday
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 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.
Research Workshops provide students with help on the research and writing process in the same space! Students can get support from both a librarian and writing tutors as they work on research and writing assignments. Head to the second floor of the library to L260 on Mondays and Tuesdays from 2-3 pm from Feb. 17 - May 16.
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.
Writing Center tutors are undergraduate and graduate students from across disciplines. When selecting an appointment time in StanTutor, the tutor's name appears in the top right corner of the appointment option. Select the name to read their bio and learn more about who you will be collaborating with!
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.
