The Writing Center offers free help to UW-Stout students with writing assignments for any class. Writers at all skill levels are welcome!
Each visit to the Center is confidential and will address students’ individual concerns or needs. Tutors won't edit or proofread student papers. Rather, tutors will work with students to develop skills, strategies, and confidence to improve their writing.
According to recent tutorial evaluation statistics, 98% of our clients assigned an “excellent” or “good” rating to the “usefulness of their tutor’s suggestions” about their writing; 99% of our clients, when asked if they planned to use the writing center again, said, “yes.”
We hope you say the same!
