Writing Center

writing center tutors and students

Located in Salisbury Labs 233, the Writing Center is here to help WPI students improve their written, oral, and visual communication. Our trained writing tutors provide peer consultations to individuals and teams working on any type of communication project, including course papers, presentations, dissertations, and job-related documents. Tutors can help you at any stage of your composing process--when you’re still in early stages of brainstorming and finding direction; when you’re in the middle stages of drafting ideas and organizing paragraphs; or when you’re in the late stages of your writing, polishing your prose for maximum clarity. Sign up for an in-person or online appointment today!
