The Writing Center provides tutoring to support your growth as a writer and your success in your classes.
We offer all Normandale students free peer tutoring on your writing assignments for classes across Normandale, as well as your scholarship and application essays.
At the Writing Center, students' needs lead! When you visit the Writing Center, you can expect your tutor to ask what you'd like to get out of the tutoring session and then work alongside you to accomplish that goal and improve your writing.
Writing Center tutors help with all parts of the writing process and many aspects of academic writing, including brainstorming, writing a thesis, organizing ideas and paragraphs, refining sentences, and citing sources in MLA and APA format.
We also offer professional academic reading and writing tutoring for students who use English as an Additional Language.
During Fall and Spring Semesters, we offer on-campus and virtual appointments on Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
During Summer Term, we offer on-campus and virtual appointments Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and virtual appointments Friday 8:00 a.m. - noon.
We are closed during breaks.
