What can I expect at the Writing Centre?
You receive free, one-on-one tutoring at any phase of the writing process to help you to understand how to strengthen your writing to become a better writer. Our services are available for all Saint Mary’s University alumni. The centre’s tutors will work with you to determine a direction for your paper, how to strengthen your thesis statement, or how to identify reoccurring grammatical errors or structural problems
