For writing tutoring, no appointment is necessary!

Simply come by the LAC (AD 206) during the timeframes listed above, and you will be assigned a tutor on a first-come, first-serve basis. Sessions are typically one hour long. You are welcome to work with our tutors one-on-one or bring your friends and make a study group.

If you would prefer to set an appointment, contact the LAC at 210-829-3870 and we will be happy to make arrangements for you. Please be aware that if you need to cancel an appointment, we require a minimum of 24 hours notice. If you do not come in for an appointment and have not given at least 24 hours notice twice, then you will need to utilize the drop-in tutoring services for the remainder of the semester.

For writing assignments, we recommend that you come as soon as the assignment is given to you so the tutor can assist you throughout the writing process. If your professor has indicated specific areas that need work, please inform the tutor.

The above schedule is subject to change without notice. Additional tutoring sessions may be added based on faculty and student requests. Contact Amanda Johnston at ajohnsto@uiwtx.edu for more information.
