Welcome to the Writing Center!


By Abby Mire
Special to The Motlow Buzz

(Editor’s note: Abby is a student volunteer and tutor for The Writing Center on the Motlow Smyrna campus.)


        What is the Writing Center? 

        The Writing Center is a great tool for students to use. We offer one on one sessions so that you can get the help and attention you need.

        What do we do?

        We offer tutoring for essays, letters of recommendations, stories and even the occasional love letter. While we don’t edit papers, we gladly will give instruction on MLA format, citations and punctuation.

        What types of tutoring do we offer?

        We have three types of tutoring. We offer face-to-face, etutoring, and live online. Face to face is a type of tutoring for students who want person to person interaction. Etutoring is a type for those who can’t get off of work but really need to have their assignment looked at. Live online allows you to be anywhere, as long as you have a computer.

        Do I have to have an appointment?

        While we do love people walking in, we do prefer that you have an appointment. You can make an appointment at https://mscc.mywconline.com/. Our site is dedicated to the appointments of the Writing Center. Click the link and click register for an account. Make sure you use your Motlow email.

        Is there any penalty for canceling an appointment?

        Absolutely not, there is no penalty for canceling appointment. Overall, we enjoy having people come into the writing center. In fact, the Writing Center has become so popular, the amount of appointments we had doubled from last year. We look forward to seeing new faces, so please come on by!
