The University Writing Center

How can we help you?

The  Writing Center is designed to help writers in all stages of the composing process.  Our writing consultants can address a variety of writing issues in any stage of a paper.  We also help students prepare for essay examinations such as the TSU Writing Proficiency Exam.

Do I have to be in an English class to get help with my writing?

Many students believe they have to be in an English class in order to take advantage of the Writing Center; however, this is not true.  Bring your writing projects from any class or major, and we'll be glad to work with you.
 
 

When can I come to the Writing Center?

The Writing Center has regular hours each week.  You can make an appointment, or you can just drop in.  To make an appointment, call 968-9327.  If you want to drop by with your work, we are located in the Humanities Building, Room 210.  If our writing consultants are busy when you arrive, they will be glad to set an appointment for you at a later time, usually that same day.
 
 


What can I expect from a tutoring session in the Writing Center?

You can expect knowledgeable, professional help with your work. The Writing Center is staffed with graduate students, undergraduate students, and English Department faculty members.  The Writing Center consultants want you to become a thoughtful, independent writer.  This means that the consultants will not revise, proofread, or edit your papers for you, but they will teach you how to do these things for yourself so you become a more confident writer.
