What Students are Saying
"The tutor understands very well my points and knows what the professor is looking for. Thank you for your help."
"Very friendly and helpful. Provided good feedback in a constructive way & made me feel comfortable."
"I came in unsure of what exactly I needed. I was also unsure of the exact questions I should ask, but she steered me in the right direction and gave me pointers and tips that I was surprised to be given. Thank you!"
"I am in my 4th year, and this was my first experience with the writing centre. I think it might have been easier for my university writing career if I had come in [to the centre] sooner."
"This service has been very beneficial to me, and I will recommend it to my fellow students at the EMBA program."
