The Writing Center offers one-on-one consultations, both in-person (in SL 233) and over Zoom, to help you improve as a writer. Writing Center tutors will read your written work, give you feedback about your document’s strengths and weaknesses, and help you chart a path forward as you revise. Consultations are free and open to all WPI students for all classes and projects, and tutors will happily work with you at any stage of the writing process (early brainstorming, revising a draft, polishing sentences in a final draft).
