About Us
Writing Lab tutors are available to assist, you, the student, with your writing. No matter what stage of the Writing Process you are in—from brainstorming to revising a final draft—we can help. If you need assistance starting, organizing, revising or finishing your paper, we are here for one-on-one tutoring. Our goal is to supplement classroom instruction and strengthen your writing skills. We allow you to work at your own pace and on your own individual writing needs.
