What is the Writing Center?

The Writing Center at Washington University in St. Louis provides free, one-on-one tutoring to all WUSTL undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff for any writing project. 

What can the Writing Center do for you?

• They provide Personal Statement workshops 
• Provide resume workshops
• They will help you revise any essay you have and help you strengthen and clarify your argument.
• Teach you techniques for generating ideas, as well as how to find a thesis in the midst of all that brainstorming
• Provide help for writing a research paper, from helping with topics to connecting you with a subject librarian who can help you do the research.
• ​Go through the steps on how to write an essay exam

• Help you improve your writing skills through discussing strategies for expressing ideas in clear sentences

Advice: Don't wait too long to use this resource! It is very helpful and they fill up during the semester. They personally helped me fine-tune my drafts and gave a lot of helpful advice. 

• I recommend setting an appointment for your papers the moment you get your syllabus or at least 2 weeks in advance.
