What You Need to Bring to the Session
We can
help you at any stage of the writing process, even if
you are just trying to get an idea for an essay or understand
what your teacher wants you to do. We can help you understand
MLA format and documentation. We can help you read and
comprehend your assignment.
|
Bring
your student ID. |
| Bring your assignment. |
| Bring your
writing. |
| Bring your electronic storage device (flash
drive) if you plan to use one of our computers. |
A tutor
will work with you for about twenty minutes, looking
at an aspect or problem you might be having with the
reading or writing process. You can come back as many
times as you want for another twenty-minute session.
We will help you learn to edit and proofread your own
work, and help you develop skills to improve your reading.
These skills
will help your grades in all the classes you ever have
in which you need to write.
