Academic Support

Welcome to the Woodsworth College Academic Writing Centre!

The Woodsworth College Academic Writing Centre offers one-on-one help with all aspects of writing in all subjects, at all stages of the writing process: understanding the assignment, developing a thesis and an argument, citing sources correctly, organizing, drafting, revising, and editing. 

We will coach you, prompting you to refine and clarify your thinking; we will teach you the skills you need to practice to become a better writer; we won’t tell you what to think or what to say, or edit or correct your work. 

We teach more than just writing! We can also help you improve other key academic skills: critical reading and thinking, lecture-listening, note-taking, making seminar presentations, preparing for tests and exams, and more.

There are three types of Writing Centre appointments:

1. Face-to-face: held at Woodsworth College in room 100 (Please note: face-to-face appointments are on pause until the end of the 2022 Summer session);
2. Online: synchronous, live-chat consultations;
3. eTutoring: asynchronous, document-only appointments, without live chat.
