Testimonial feedback from Writing Center users:
“This was an incredibly valuable experience at the writing center! I appreciated my tutor’s feedback and how she not only was attentive to my concerns-but she opened my eyes to an area of my writing that I need improvement in, in a respectable and helpful manner.”
“I really felt a lot more confident in my writing after my session. The confidence I gained was really from the dynamic feedback the tutor gave me. The tutor was able to highlight some of my strengths, but also pointed out areas that could have definitely used some editing. A sense of trust developed between me and the tutor that I was pretty astonished by!”
“Extremely helpful. Helped me formulate ideas, provided direct answers, bounced ideas off of each other etc. 10/10 would recommend! :)”
“Kind, compassionate, listens.”
