Writing tutors provide one-to-one writing instruction for WUSTL undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff working on any kind of writing or speaking project, at any stage of the writing process, and they assist and at times take the lead in the design, execution, and instruction of workshops, programs, and classes that are part of departmental partnerships with other centers and departments. Departmental pedagogy does not simply emphasize writing skills or error-correction; instead, consultants emphasize the larger ideas in the paper, helping the writer discover what they want to say and to say it clearly and persuasively.
