Writing Center
Write with us! Don’t write or think alone. Writing is a social and rhetorical act; therefore, we invite you to connect with peer and professional writing tutors to share your ideas, express yourself, co-construct knowledge, and develop your writing. All writers have more to learn. go/write
About
The CTLR Writing Center includes peer tutors who will work with writers from the beginning to the end of any piece of writing. Tutors also work with writers on writing motivation, writing project planning, reviewing professor feedback, revision strategies, and mindfulness writing strategies. A limited amount of professional writing tutoring is also available. Finally, writing pedagogy workshops and course-based tutor partnerships are offered to faculty.
Writing tutoring is available fall and spring semesters (through reading days). Tutors will also be available during the winter semester for individual appointments. Visit go.middlebury.edu/appt to schedule.
