Westmont's writing center Writers' Corner

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Writers' Corner, Westmont’s writing center, is a creative space where student writers can find friendly “test readers” as they develop projects for professors, employers, and others. Tutors coach and collaborate with peers as they mature into more skillful and confident writers.  All tutorials are free of charge. Tutors are available 5 days a week (Sunday through Thursday), excluding the first week of classes, college holidays, and Finals Week.

In-person tutoring is available during the academic year in the main writing center (Voskuyl Library 215).

Online tutoring is available by request. Online tutorials are hosted via our WCOnline website and include audio/video and text/chat tools.
