The Illinois Tech Writing Center offers in-person and online collaboration sessions for individuals and small groups. We provide one-on-one conferences for undergraduate and graduate students. Students can seek assistance with all written and oral assignments as well as with personal statements and application essays. All tutor-student conferences are confidential and not linked to classroom instructors.
Our tutors can assist during any stage in the writing process, from brainstorming and outlining to final touches and reference sheets. They are trained professionals who read academic writing with a critical eye given not only to grammar and syntax, but also to understanding assignments, paragraph structure, clarity of ideas, strategies for revision, and even strength of arguments. Tutors specializing in English as a Second Language are also available to assist students whose primary language is not English.
Appointments are available five days a week during fall and spring semesters.
