Since 1986, the Sweetland Writing Center has trained and supervised a select group of upper-level undergraduates to serve as writing tutors for their peers. Peer Tutors come from a variety of disciplines and are trained to help fellow undergraduates of all skill levels with all parts of the writing process.

Peer Tutors can assist undergraduates with...**every stage of their writing process, including but not limited to:

• understanding an assignment;
• brainstorming ideas;
• developing/improving a thesis;
•  (re)organizing a draft;
• paragraphs development;
• tone/voice;
• clarity of expression;
• style;
• sentence structure;
• documenting sources;
• second language issues.** 

Peer Tutors will not proofread papers and cannot help with take-home exams unless the instructor gives Sweetland written permission.

Graduate students cannot visit the Peer Tutoring Center; they should make an appointment to meet with an instructor in Sweetland's Writing Workshop instead.
