In the studio, tutoring is provided for all writing assignments regardless of academic discipline. Tutors have excelled previously in MCC writing courses and act as coaches to help you practice effective writing strategies. The Writing Studio is meant to be place to supplement instruction, to ask questions, to work, and to collaborate with peer tutors.
The Writing Studio aims to not only meet student's immediate writing needs but also assess the layers of the writing process, such as brainstorming, idea development, organizing and structuring, paragraphing and integrating research, sentence style and grammar. In addition, all tutoring spaces may be used as quiet study areas.
The Writing Studio also offers online assistance for writing and questions about writing. Using a student email account, email the MCC-Longview Writing Studio at lv.writingstudio@mcckc.edu
For email submissions, please provide your assignment in a PDF and/or Word.doc file along with your professor’s prompt or assignment sheet. Typically, a writing tutor will respond within 48 hours of your request.

Testimonials
"Not only did I see a huge difference in my grades, but I learned how to pace myself and study areas I really struggled on. The more I went to the math lab the more my assignments and test become easier to me. I think that all students who struggle in math should really visit the math lab at least twice a week. I truly believe it helps you understand all your problems better."
"Because the learning center was so helpful to me in areas where I struggled, I became a tutor to help others in the same way." James
"Every time I walk in, I leave learning something new."

"The learning resources is the reason why I am getting through school and passing classes. Words cannot express my thankfulness for all the tutors who help the students. The math lab is amazing I would not have passed math without it. Also the chemistry lab. I love the tutors and I cannot express how thankful I am for everyone."
