- Overview
Overview
The Writing Center is a learning and study space for UAA students and the Anchorage community. We offer tutoring support for academic writing in all disciplines as a tool for learning, communicating, self-expression and critical thinking. Students are the primary focus of our work: both the students we employ and those we tutor. We strive to help students become better writers without losing their unique voice.
Writing Consultants work with students at all levels to help improve their writing skills through one-on-one discussions of their work. Writing tutoring consultations can be a useful resource at any point in the writing process, such as brainstorming, expanding ideas, polishing, or even understanding and using APA, MLA, and Chicago Style formats. We work closely with students, faculty, and administrators to help students become capable, successful writers. Additionally, the Writing Center serves students for whom English is a second, or even third or fourth, language. We offer help managing the challenges that students face when writing academically in a secondary language.
