Welcome to the Writing Center: Welcome

The Writing Center is the part of the Library & Learning Center where students can get help with all aspects of the writing process.

What You Can Expect From The Writing Center

You will work one-on-one with a trained tutor. Any currently-registered MJC student can make an appointment to work with a tutor on any aspect of writing including:

• Understanding your assignment or research prompt
• Brainstorming paper ideas
• Discussing grammar
• Learning to recognize errors in punctuation, and more

Trained tutors will help you with your writing but will not write your paper for you. They will empower you to be a more skillful writer.

Appointments: (In-Person & Online)

You can work with a peer tutor either in-person or online during our regular hours. Outside of those hours, you can access NetTutor, our online tutoring platform available to MJC students. (See below)
