Welcome to the Writing Center!

 

Do you have trouble starting a n essay?

Do you need help developing your ideas?

Would you like a second opinion before turning in your assignment?

 

Our mission is to assist students in developing critical thinking, reading, and writing skills at all stages of the writing process from brainstorming to drafting and revising.

 

Since we aim to guide students in one-on-one tutoring by asking questions rather than providing answers, we do not edit or proofread written assignments. Through this approach, students can assume responsibility for organizing their thoughts in clear, focused, and convincing arguments.

 

The Writing Center is here to offer free help at any stage of the writing process such as :

  • Understanding an essay assignment
  • Constructing a thesis statement
  • Focusing paragraphs
  • Developing thoughts
  • Analyzing texts
  • Finding a strong voice
  • Revising a draft
  • Using MLA format
  • Typing an essay
  • Conducting research on the internet
  • Improving reading comprehension
  • Practicing grammar, writing, or reading on software:
