Oakes is happy to announce the launch of its new Writing Center, with tutoring services designed to support you in your first and second quarters at UCSC.

Our Writing Center staff are professionally experienced tutors and teachers, and have different backgrounds as writers and scholars.  They are ready and waiting to help you with Core papers especially, but you can bring them any of your writing assignments from your classes.  They can talk with you about your ideas and strategies, help you form a thesis and support it, and help you with organizing tools as well as suggestions for how to work on clarifying your sentences.

Weekday afternoon tutoring is primarily available in office 329, on the third floor of the Oakes Academic building. Sunday and evening tutoring hours are available at the round table in the lobby/mailroom, on the first floor of the Oakes Academic building.
