The tutors are accomplished undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of university disciplines who are available to assist students on a walk-in and appointment basis.

The Grammar Lab
The Grammar Lab offers tutoring for students who wish to polish their written English. Trained grammar tutors provide help with sentence-level issues, including sentence boundaries, subject/verb agreement, word choice, sentence combining, and other conventions of written English.
In order to facilitate productive tutoring sessions, we are offering a student referral form that faculty can fill out for students prior to a Writing Lab (first year writers) or Writing Center (all other levels of writers) visit. This is not mandatory in any way, but it will help us to address the concerns you have for your students more directly, should you want or require that.
If you are interested in sending a referral form with your student to their LRC Writing appointment, please click here for the form. Thanks!
Are you assigning an annotated bibliography in your class? Do your students need a refresher on MLA or APA conventions? Does your upper division class need a reminder regarding classic academic conventions of writing, or a little extra guidance on organization and structure of writing within your discipline?
If you are interested in having an LRC Writing Center presentation or academic skills workshop for your class/group, please click here for Workshops and Presentations Request Form.
