Q: Why should I come to the Writing Center+?
A: Students should come to the Writing Center+ because it gives them a chance to have a second set of eyes on their papers. Tutors are trained to pick out grammar errors and help students with every aspect of their paper, whether it be the introduction, the content, or understanding the prompt. students should also come in when they need additional assistance in learning/understanding concepts taught in any of their classes. Q: Who are the tutors? A: The tutors are juniors and seniors at Lindblom who are skilled not only in writing, but are also able to tutor in the other subjects taught. These students are dedicated to helping students excel in all subjects. Every tutor has been approved by the Writing Center+ director and Lindblom librarian Ms. Confer. Q: How am I paired up with a Writing Center+ tutor? A: Students are paired with tutors based on the assignment they are working on. Tutors are paired based on their strengths in the areas students wish to improve upon or need assistance in. Q: How long do sessions last? A: Sessions can last as long as the student needs depending on how long the block is. Students can come in during all lunch periods. Blocks are 50 minutes long, and students can take up the whole period if needed. Q: Can I leave my paper with the Writing Center+ tutor and pick it up later? A: No. We are not a paper correcting service. We are more than willing to sit with you and go through your paper though! Q: How do I become a tutor?
