The Writing Center offers assistance to currently enrolled TTC students through one-to-one appointments,
drop-in tutoring times, and small group workshop sessions (see schedules below).
Writers of any level or ability currently enrolled in classes at TTC can work with a writing tutor to...
- Develop strategies for planning and organizing written work
- Learn to develop and clearly express ideas in writing
- Learn to demonstrate critical reading and thinking skills in writing
- Learn the conventions of academic writing
- Learn to recognize and correct common grammatical errors
- Practice proofreading techniques
- Learn to use MLA and APA formats correctly
- Improve written English language skills
Writing tutors will not write your papers for you and will not proofread your writing for you.
Writing tutors help you identify your strengths and weaknesses as a writer and guide you toward improving your writing skills, which includes learning to edit and proofread your own work.
Tutoring appointments are 30 minutes long and may be scheduled up to two weeks in advance (call 574-6409 or stop by 920/211).
Writing tutors will assist walk-ins based on availability. Drop by 920/211 to inquire about walk-in availability.
Mrs. Sperry also offers drop-in writing assistance at specific times. No appointment is needed for drop-in assistance, but it is first come, first served and is limited to 15 minutes maximum. See drop-in assistance schedule below.
