Writing Support

Tired of writing alone? Want to develop a writing routine? Need some writing accountability? Join your peers and an experienced writing tutor for Writing support for Indigenous students. Increase your writing productivity and add an element of structure to your writing sessions by setting a writing goal.

Prepare yourself by identifying your questions, thoughts, and/or, writings to discuss with the writing tutor.
