Writing Center Tutorials
​
Writing Center Tutorials are essentially one-on-one sessions with a writing center instructor. These tutorials are perhaps best described as "discussions" focusing on a piece of writing or a writing project. The feedback you receive from the instructor will help you move to the next stage of your writing.
-
Tutorials are typically 45 minutes long, and may focus on a number of different aspects of your writing.
-
Clients can book one session per week.
-
To schedule an appointment, go to our Online Scheduling System.
​
The Writing Center is currently offering online tutorials. See the video below for more.
