The Writing Center
Our Mission
The Writing Center offers writing tutoring
and writing workshops to all undergraduate students
currently enrolled in classes on the Rutgers, Newark campus.
Tutors help students become more independent
readers and writers capable of responding well to the demands of
writing within the university.
Tutoring is not a drop-off editing or
proofreading service. Rather, tutoring is for students who want to
strengthen their reading, writing, and research skills. In
universities around the world, tutors and their students pursue
academic excellence together.
The Writing Center offers specific workshops
to support students enrolled in composition courses, as well as
those enrolled in Writing Intensive courses. Please come to the
Writing Center for a workshop calendar or check our website.
To request more information, sign up for
tutoring or to register for workshops, visit Conklin Hall 126, or
click on the appropriate links in the left hand menu.
Writing Center
Tutors
Tutors are Writing Program faculty and
undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of disciplines,
selected to help students develop their writing. Student tutors
maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or better, are recommended by
faculty, participate in on-going training, and are certified through
the College Reading and Language Association International
Certification Program.
How Tutors Help
Students
Students learn most if they engage in a
variety of activities with tutors, such as tutoring and workshops.
Tutors can also help students use the Center’s web-site and
library.
Using the
Writing Center
Tutors can help students: clarify an
assignment, generate ideas and writing, review and revise drafts,
improve grammar and usage, and strengthen reading and editing
skills.
