Most professional writers and writing teachers agree that in order for writers to prosper, what they need most is a thoughtful and interested audience.  Our Writing Center provides this kind of audience for all students and faculty at SCCC.  More importantly, we work with you to develop your writing to its fullest potential. Our Writing Center staff of professional and peer tutors is aware that your piece of writing and the ideas that make up your writing are valuable no matter where you are in the writing process.  All members of the SCCC community are welcome to work on and/or discuss any type of writing project in the Writing Center.

    Some of our services include:

• One-on-one tutoring which allows a student to discuss strategies for generating ideas, for organization and development, and final review of her/his work.  A student can get feedback on any writing project, whether it is a writing assignment from class or a personal project, such as a resume or letter of application.
• Group tutoring offers students the opportunity to meet once a week for one hour with a small group of peers and a professional tutor.  They work on assignments they receive from their EG10 or EG11 classes.  Students can get a variety of feedback, develop collaboration skills and gain new perspectives on their own writings.
• Send a draft to a tutor using our easy form which allows students to send papers to the Writing Center by e-mail.  Tutors receive the drafts, comment, give suggestions, and send the drafts back.
• Ask a tutor allows students to submit questions on writing, grammar, style, format, etc. that will be answered by a Writing Center tutor.
• Gateway and Mac computers, MS Word, Internet and e-mail access are available.
