The Writing Centre (TWC)

Welcome to UVic's Writing Centre! We offer one-on-one tutoring and workshops to help students become more effective and efficient writers.

Who are we and what do we do?
TWC tutors are experienced writers who can help you compose better essays, integrate your research and ideas, and format your writing according to the style of your discipline. We have tutors from a variety of disciplines, including English, Cultural Studies and Political Thought, History in Art, Geography, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Law. We will help you acquire the skills necessary to tackle any of the challenges that arise in the academic writing process. We won’t edit or “fix” your papers for you; rather, we focus on your role in the process, allowing you to develop your abilities and confidence as a writer. Want more information? Call us at 250-853-3675.

Locations
We're located in the Learning Commons in the Mearns Centre for Learning/Library.
