Writing Center

Writing Center

The Writing Center at IU Northwest is a free service that provides students with one-on-one tutoring for any writing assignment in any course. 

The consultants at the Writing Center have experience in a variety of disciplines, and are able to assist students with all facets of the writing process including:

• Generating and expanding on ideas
• Organizing information so that it is logical and easy to understand.
• Creating well-developed paragraphs that support the essay’s central point.
• Writing sentences that are both interesting and structurally sound.
• Editing for grammar and mechanics.          
  

  We encourage students to bring the written assignment and any preliminary writing to the tutoring sessions, which are generally 30 minutes long.

  Walk-ins are welcome, but making an appointment by calling 980-6502 will ensure that a consultant will be available.

  Tutors are also available to make presentations about the services offered by the Writing Center to classes.  To arrange a visit, faculty can contact Lou Ann Karabel, Writing Center Director, at 980-6568.

Tutors:  Elizabeth LaDuke (Head Consultant), Alyssa Black, Jayson Goodman, Debi Hubbert, Alex Plys, Jennifer Tepavcevich, and Melinda Topel.
