Washington and Lee University
Writing tutors do not proofread or edit student work; rather, they teach students to recognize and correct their own errors with the goal of making the student a more confident and self-sufficient writer. In keeping with the Honor System, students who come to the Center must acknowledge Writing Center help on any project they submit for a grade.
The Writing Center is open Sunday through Thursday evenings, 8-10 P.M., beginning the third week of the term, during Fall and Winter Terms. During Spring Term, the Writing Center is not open regular hours. However, many of our tutors are available for individual conferences.
Some handouts commonly used by our tutors to teach some aspects of writing:

During Spring Term the Writing Center is not open regular hours. However, many of our tutors are available for individual conferences.
