There is no need to sign up in advance, simply come to the Writing Center and join the session. Feel free to bring a friend!
Other Resources
We also have a number of books and dictionaries written especially for English language learners. These include helpful charts about English grammar, lists of idioms and common phrases, tips on writing essays, and pictures to accompany many difficult vocabulary words. You don’t need an appointment to come to the Writing Center and use these materials. You may use them with a tutor or for self-study in your free time during any of our business hours.
