Writing Center

Suffolk University’s Writing Center offers writing assistance to students at all levels in all disciplines. We are located on the second floor of Sawyer Library.

The Writing Center will be closed December 22 - January 13, 2013. 

Writing Center Hours - Spring 2013:

Sunday: 4pm - 7pm
Monday - Thursday: 9am - 8pm
Friday: 9am - 4pm

Tutoring sessions resume on Wednesday, January 16, 2013.

Tutoring sessions are by appointment only.  You may schedule a maximum of two tutoring sessions per week. To make an appointment or to get more information, please stop by the Writing Center or call 617.573.8270. Please have your Suffolk ID available when scheduling a tutoring session.

Writing Center tutors are available to help you at all stages of the writing process, including brainstorming ideas and organizing these ideas into an outline. They can also work on thesis clarity, the overall organization and development of your paper, and sentence structure and grammar. Please bring a hardcopy of whatever progress you’ve made on your paper (a full draft, a partial draft, an outline, some ideas you’ve written down, etc.). Also, please bring any handouts the professor has provided that explain the requirements of the assignment.

Because there is high student demand for tutoring at busy times of the semester, we strongly encourage you to plan ahead when trying to schedule an appointment. On average, each tutoring session will last approximately 45 minutes. 

Our tutors are upper-level undergraduate students who earned Writing Center Scholarships because of their high GPAs and outstanding academic performances. They come from a variety of disciplines, including English, Communication, Creative Writing, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology, Print Journalism, and Advertising. They have all received extensive training.
