Writing Studio
In the Writing Studio, tutoring is provided for all writing assignments regardless of academic discipline. Peer writing tutors have excelled previously in MCC writing courses and act as coaches to help you practice effective writing strategies. No matter what stage of writing you're in—brainstorming, outlining, writing, or editing—we're here to help make the writing process a little less daunting. Our amazing writing tutors lead every one-on-one session with kindness and curiosity to help you reach your writing goals.
The Writing Studio aims to meet students’ immediate writing needs while assessing the layers of the writing process, such as brainstorming, organization, thesis creation, paragraph development, sentence structure, and grammar. In addition, all tutoring spaces may be used as quiet study areas.
The Writing Studio also offers email and Zoom 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 as a PDF or Word Doc, along with your professor’s prompt or assignment sheet. Typically, a writing tutor will respond within 24 hours of your request.
