Free one-on-one support is available for all McKendree students at the Writing Center! Our goal is to help you become a better writer by improving your writing skills. We offer 30-minute or 1-hour sessions with experienced faculty and peer tutors. You can bring your project at any stage, whether you need help with:
- Following assignment guidelines
- Brainstorming and identifying your topic
- Developing thesis statements and arguments
- Organizing ideas (structure, transitions, flow)
- Researching and integrating evidence
- Citing and formatting sources
- Identifying grammar and punctuation issues
- Revising drafts and implementing feedback
Active participation is key—come prepared with specific questions or areas where you need help. While we don’t guarantee better grades or offer proofreading services, our aim is to help you take responsibility for your work and become a self-directed learner.
There are three types of scheduled appointments:
Face-to-Face: Meet in the Writing Center
Online: Log in for a live chat
E-Tutoring: Upload a document for review
Note that the above appointments must be made 48 hours in advance. All times on this schedule are Central Time (Chicago time). If you are in a different time zone, please adjust accordingly. Face-to-Face walk-in appointments are available when the tutor does not have a scheduled appointment. Check the schedule for the availability.
