Writing Center

The Writing Center is a friendly space that provides UIC students with free 1:1 peer feedback and support for writing. We’ll work with you on class assignments, research, personal statements, lab reports, memos, applications, or resumes.  

We can work with you at any stage of writing: you can come with no writing and talk to a tutor about getting started (or moving past a writer’s block), or you can come with a draft and discuss possibilities for next steps. In the most productive sessions, both you and the tutor participate. Tutors offer options, share their own writing experience, and help you use resources about writing. Of course, responsibility for making final changes in the writing remains with you, the author. Many students have found that tutoring sessions help not only improve the assignment, but also confidence and motivation about writing. See what students say here.
