About the Writing Center
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 generating project ideas, writing motivation, writing project planning, reviewing professor feedback, and revision strategies. A limited amount of professional writing tutoring is also available. Finally, writing pedagogy workshops and course-based tutor partnerships are offered to faculty.
