What can the WC do for you?
“I want to be the kind of writer who understands the art of writing. That is why I like how the Writing Center focuses on teaching me how to fix my errors instead of fixing them for me. I worked with a student who explained it very well. She said the tutors at the Writing Center remind her of a Chinese proverb that says, “It’s better to teach someone how to fish instead of just handing them fish.”Esther, Senior, Organizational and Interpersonal Communications
“Tutoring opened my mind to the different ways that people perceive and interact with the world. Further, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing these students develop their writing and their voice over the semester. My heart fills with warmth when a tutee tells me about an improvement in their grade, something I’ve been lucky to experience more than once.”Liz, MFA Candidate and Writing Center Tutor
“The Writing Center encouraged me to stick to my own idea and be confident.”Xiaodan, Sophomore, Marketing
“I learn things from the students I’m tutoring all the time. Often students come in and just want to bounce their thoughts and ideas off of someone. It’s really exciting to learn about all of the different research projects, creative works, etc that are being done across the Mason campus.”Sean, MFA Candidate and Writing Center Tutor
