Writing Center
246 Franklin Hall
One-On-One Tutorial Service
The Columbus State Community College Writing Center is a free, one-on-one tutorial service for students, faculty, and staff. Tutors work with writers on a variety of assignments such as critical essays, research papers, reviews, résumés, formal business letters, lab reports, case studies, poems, and job applications.
The Writing Center is not a proofreading or editing service. Tutors do not write papers, edit final drafts, or discuss grades. They are available to help clients improve grammar, punctuation, organization, spelling, vocabulary, and other skills related to writing. Tutors are experts at helping students develop confidence in their ability to write for success across the curriculum.
