Any Student:  Regardless of your level of confidence or writing expertise, meeting with an experienced writing coach will give you a fresh perspective on your writing.

Any Project:  Whether it's a major research paper, a cover letter, or a forum post, we'll help you understand your assignment and meet your writing goals.

Any Stage:  Meeting with a writing coach will help guide your brainstorming, drafting, revising, or editing. If you're having trouble getting started, we can help generate ideas. If you want to make sure your thesis is well supported, we can help with that, too.

2. You can book appointments by; email: writinghelp@judsonu.edu to set up an appointment either during the day or evening

• Send a copy of your draft as well as the assignment sheet.
• YOU are in charge of the direction of the appointment, so before your meeting, try to prepare questions for the tutor or some goals for the tutorial.
• You or the tutor will usually read your paper aloud. Reading your paper aloud helps you to catch errors or places where you may want to revise. Many writers find that this strategy is useful.
• You may also work on pre-writing, brainstorming, outlining, improving grammar, documenting sources, and other aspects of writing, even if you are not working on a particular assignment.
