Writing Center Helps Students Become Better Writers

By Abby Mire

                SMYRNA -- The Writing Center here at Motlow Smyrna  is a great place to come and get help in becoming a better writer.

                Dedicated tutors help students better understand the writing process and better themselves as writers. We don’t just take papers; we take stories and resumes! We also take the occasional love letter. So for those of you who want help in figuring out a story, or if you want to surprise special someone, come on down to our location in Smyrna in the Student Success Center in the Mary Lou Apple Building!

                All of our tutors want to help you and hope that you come and visit us. We do take walk-ins, but we prefer appointments (as we sometimes get very busy). We also understand that sometimes people get busy, so there is no penalty for canceling.

                We have online tutoring! If you are busy and you can’t meet face to face; we have options available. Our e-tutoring is a great resource to use if you can’t meet with our face-to-face or live online options. Live online is another amazing option for those who have the ability to go online with a webcam but are too busy for face-to-face.

                We also have a waitlist! If you have forgotten about an assignment, and you need an appointment now but we don’t have any available, you can join our waitlist. Our waitlist allows students to be notified in case of a cancellation or a no-show, so they can grab that appointment themselves. We love having people with different papers, stories and other works. One thing that makes our job great is when people come in and are ready to work hard! So please come and join us at the Motlow Writing Center.

                To set up an appointment, visit www.mscc.edu/writingcenter.
