  1. What to Expect in a Session
  2. At the APSU Writing Center, our goal is to empower you to improve in your writing skills. Whether in-person, online, or through eTutoring, sessions are collaborative and focus on student writing development. During sessions students ask questions and listen to tutor suggestions.
  • You can bring in writing at any stage of the writing process from brainstorming, drafting, to revising.
  • Tutors will not edit or "fix" your paper. but will help in exploring your ideas, strengthening your writing structure, and navigating the writing process.
  • Tutors typically review 2-3 pages during a 30-minute session, so it's best to submit a section of your work.
