Writing Center

Who We Are

The Writing Center of Lincoln University offers a welcoming environment, providing transparent tutoring services to build learners. We tailor our sessions to individual learners with all levels of academic preparedness. Above all, our mission is to be empathetic and adaptable to the differing types of students in need of academic assistance. Our purpose is to facilitate the growth of student learning and confidence, and to enhance students’ writing skills for their future careers and goals.

Students are welcome to visit at any point during the writing process, from initial brainstorming to polishing their final drafts. Our peer tutors come from different majors here at Lincoln, but they are all trained to listen and respond to each student’s concerns. During appointments, learners will meet one-on-one with a peer tutor who will assess needs and provide students with the feedback, tools, and exercises they need to complete their assignments. Tutors do not act as editors wordlessly providing corrections, because our goal is to ensure students leave with a greater sense of independence and initiative regarding their own writing processes.

Tutors are available both in-person and online. You may make an appointment by emailing WritingCenter@LincolnU.edu; you may have a walk-in appointment while our physical Center is open; or you can submit to our Online Writery, also by emailing WritingCenter@LincolnU.edu.
