Comments from students

"[My session] was very helpful to improve my essay quality, and my grammar. Andie understood what i wanted to say through the essay, especially [since] she had a background from [teaching in] Korea."

"Nicola was so helpful and knowledgeable. I am thankful that I got her as my tutor. She helped me with all the topics I needed help with and did not rush me at all...feel like I can go away from this with the ability of finishing my research paper. Very impressed and appreciative. She is a QUEEN!!!"

"I had help from the writing center twice this semester, and I found that it helped me a lot. What I found really interesting was, it helped me in other classes too; I could see the improvement in my writing skills. I'd also like to mention that French is my first language, I went to school entirely in French, therefore going to an English University was going to be a challenge from the beginning...thank you for having this program."
