What We Do

• Aid students in a collaborative effort of creating their "ideal texts" and producing their best quality work.
• We are NOT a "fix-it shop" and seek to "produce better writers, not better texts."
• We encourage multiple, independent visits for all types of students, in all stages of their writing.
• We cater to individual student needs and rely on the effective relationship of peer tutoring.
• All are welcome.
