With midterm season in full swing, and deadlines approaching, students will be looking for in-depth conversation to support them with their academic writing. Our goal is to provide Cal undergraduates the transformative opportunity to dive deeply into their writing process with an experienced peer.
We are delighted to share our resources. We offer multiple formats of service so students can choose what is right for them. Our Drop-in service is our most flexible service–students can come by anytime we are open for a 30-minute session, and they can always sign in again if they want to continue the conversation. 50-minute Appointments can be booked in advance, so students can plan ahead. In either format, students can talk with a tutor at any stage of their writing process.
Additionally, if students have a lot of writing throughout the semester, our Weekly service allows them to build consistency into their writing process by meeting with a tutor on a weekly basis. Through these longer-term partnerships, students can bolster their academic writing process, plan effectively as they navigate multiple or major assignments, and cultivate habits that support their long-term writing goals.
