About Our Services

Writing & Language Tutoring Supports

The Writing and Language Center (WLC) offers tutoring in reading, writing, research, study skills, and language conversation support across all subjects. Whether you are working on an essay for an English class, a research assignment for your geography class, or working through a scholarship essay, our tutors are here to help! We have also expanded our language services to Spanish and Japanese drop-in tutoring and Spanish and Japanese conversation practice hours, all levels welcome. 

We acknowledge the value of providing our services in more than one modality to make our tutoring accessible to all students. Most of our tutoring services and workshops are available online via our online office space LRC Zoom room, as well as on-campus in building 3600 each quarter.
