Purpose:

Writing Center tutors collaborate with students to develop their writing across disciplines, as well as their skills in other subjects in the humanities taught at Piedmont Virginia Community College.

Writing tutors are also embedded in composition courses to foster student success and build connections with the Writing Center.

Tutors work with students one-on-one, in small groups or whole class activities;

they document their work and participate in robust professional development (both online and in person), which strengthens their ability to give and receive feedback and to communicate effectively.
