What kind of help can I get from the Writing Center?
Can I just drop off my paper for corrections?
Where are you located?
Do you only tutor English composition?
Can you tell me what grade I'll get on this paper?
How long do tutoring sessions last?
Everything that you're willing to
give. The tutors are trained to help you learn--they will help you
with your writing areas that demand the most concern, and they will
show you how to avoid problems in the future.
The tutors won't do your work for
you--so don't drop off an essay for corrections. You will learn how
to write effectively by doing the work--the tutors will be your
guides. Read aloud, ask questions, and try
to solve problems on your own; the tutors will help you come to the answers. It's all about the learning process!

Nope. We are not able to assess your paper formally. Although we
won't say whether your paper is in the A or B range, we will help
you develop your paper so that it reaches higher levels of success.
Receiving a better grade because of tutoring is only second to our
main goal - helping you become a better writer.
Typically, tutoring sessions last for
30 minutes. Tutors find that after 30 minutes of a solid session
unnecessary repetition begins to set it. Tutoring sessions can be
taxing (but always beneficial)!
