Writing Center

The Writing Center is a student-staffed tutoring service focused on building the writing skills of the UAF learning community. Tutors include English Department teaching assistants and a few outstanding undergraduates. Tutors collaborate with each student on a one-to-one basis, and we will work with students at any phase of the writing process—planning, drafting and revising. We can also help writers discover ways of improving grammar, mechanics, and punctuation.
