Language & Writing Center
Services
Writing tutors can assist students with all types of writing—essay assignments, journals, research papers, resumes, scholarship essays, and more. Assistance is available at all stages of the writing process, whether you are just starting to generate ideas for an assignment or have a completed draft. Although tutors do not edit or proofread, they will help you determine what your tendencies are concerning grammar errors, explain general concepts, and offer strategies for becoming a more effective writer. Tutors can also help with MLA, APA, and other formatting styles.
Language students can meet with a tutor for conversation practice and assistance with written and oral assignments in English, Japanese, Spanish, and American Sign Language. All services are available on a drop-in or appointment basis, in-person or via Zoom.
Visit the Speech and Presentation Lab located within the Language & Writing Center to meet with tutors to support you in your Speech and Communications classes and any other class projects and presentations. You may also use this space to practice, time, and even record your presentations!
