Peer Tutoring

Dear Student,

When I was an undergraduate here, each new writing assignment created new challenges, and there were times when I felt I had no clue what my professor wanted. A tutor would have been helpful for brainstorming and understanding the assignment, improving my thesis statement, or reading through my final draft to check for clarity and flow. I would have loved to have had peer tutors available in the dorms, the halls, or even the Union while I was working on a paper.

Now, years later, the QWC and E.L.C. offer walk-in tutoring in these locations during most days and evenings. This directory includes info on our tutors, their locations, and their times. The average session lasts for 20-30 minutes, and quick questions are always welcome. In order to make the most of your time, I suggest you bring your assignment sheet and come with questions. Our tutors are eager to work with you, and we hope that you will take advantage of the free service I never had.

Liza is from Conway, Arkansas where she was a proud Wampus Cat (a blue cat with six legs, four to run at the speed of light and two to fight with all its might). She is currently a junior majoring in English and Spanish with hopes of teaching abroad in the future. In her free time, she enjoys going to the farmers market, biking, reading, and watching South Park.
