English Language Writing Tutor

Having trouble understanding your HUM essay prompt? Finding it challenging to form a claim and claim clarification? Need help with word choice and sentence structure? Contact our ELWT for assistance!
The ELWT can help you with all aspects of HUM essay writing:
  • Thesis statements
  • Topic sentences
  • Interpretation
  • Analysis
  • Brainstorming and outlining
  • Mechanics and grammar
  • Revision strategies
All HUM students are welcome: English language learners, advanced English speakers, as well as students whose primary language is English.
NOTE: For help understanding your course material or suitability of your essay topics, please contact your TA. Our ELWT helps with the analytical and mechanical aspects of writing, but does not necessarily know all of the texts or course material you are studying.

Schedule an Appointment

Office hours are held Monday through Thursday, and meetings are scheduled for 25 minutes. Sign up and check for available times.
