Testimonials

I have never been to the writing center before and I found this session very enjoyable so I would not hesitate to come back if I were to have another writing task. I felt like I was able to really work out my thoughts as my tutor asked me questions that made me think more about the topic.

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!

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 had someone besides myself to read over my work and help me. Being virtual its hard to get that guidance and I received amazing help.

This was a very valuable session. The tutor was so kind with her suggestions and supportive throughout the process. We looked at a different paper than the one I originally submitted and made positive changes together. Since a majority of my sentences were complex, she helped to shorten a few of them that were unnecessarily so, while commending those that were not as overwhelming.

My tutor was willing to adapt to my concerns, she was very helpful in understanding what I needed. The chat function is also easy to use (I appreciate the different colors).

My experience at the Writing Center was better than I thought it would ever be. I came out of it with a much better understanding of how a resume should look like, plenty of advice and more confidence to land an internship! It was nice to see the attention to detail that the tutor put in to her work in looking over my resume.

This was my first time reaching out to the Writing Center, so I was not sure what to expect. I figured I would simply get a few comments, and that was it. However, I was extremely surprised, and I am grateful that the tutor spent so much time on my paper. I was not expecting the whole written page she wrote to me explaining my strengths and weaknesses. In particular, I found the reverse outline of my paper to be very helpful. I never heard of that before. As a result, I am very pleased with the feedback Hanna gave me, and because of that, I feel more confident now to reach out to the Writing Center. I will want to reach out to her specifically again in the future as well.

I’m having a hard time accurately conveying how helpful the tutor was with peer-reviewing my story. It was like she anticipated my thoughts and concerns before I even knew how to articulate them. It was a really inspiring and relieving session that just felt like a natural conversation between two writers. I really appreciated her investment in my story and the feedback she gave. I walked away knowing exactly what she thought I was doing well and what changes I can make. Thanks!

I think that the writing centre is valuable and the tutor’s over there are best and give the best suggestions and ideas to make our assignment more interesting and helps us score more.

Overall, the tutor was extremely helpful and thoughtful. My short story was long and had some horror elements, but despite that, she gave me constructive feedback and pointed out the parts of the story that worked. She also gave me some really great insight into working at the Writing Center, which I look forward to doing in a few weeks. Thanks!

Asynchronous sessions are very helpful for getting quick edits from a tutor. Sometimes in a live session, the tutor has to read the paper in real time and analyze it, while asynchronous sessions give them more time to give thoughtful feedback.

I really appreciate [my tutor’s] way of responding to feedback. I can tell he looked at my concerns for the session and kept them in mind while he read my work. I also found his opening letter to be very easy to follow to see how he approached the writing and the feedback for it. Seeing his reverse outline helped me get a clearer sense of the organization in the paper. He was quick to respond to my asynchronous session, so I could make adjustments right away.

I was impressed with the Writing Center because they were so supportive of me. They were so passionate to find out what students struggling with so far.

The tutor made it clear that their main focus what to help with my concerns as well as point out some of my strengths. This really encouraged me or motivated me into just keep on using those strengths in order to surpass my weaknesses. I really felt that my tutor did know what they were talking about instead of just giving me random and basic information that is just given to any other student that needs feedback for their paper.
