The Writing Tutorial Service (WTS) offers students and faculty assistance with the teaching and learning of academic writing. Our services are free to students and faculty from all departments.
The Writing Tutorial Service (WTS) is a service, offered by Carleton University’s Student Academic Success Centre (SASC), that is dedicated to supporting students’ academic writing. We serve all Carleton students at all levels of study. Over the years, our core tutoring service has been augmented with an outreach service offering workshops within classes as well as other collaborations and partnerships with professors, teaching assistants and student support units at Carleton.
Our Vision
The WTS is founded on the central belief that writing is a social process, one which involves continuous adaptation and growth. Our team of dedicated tutors strives to teach and guide students through this journey, and aims to equip them with the skills that are required to better their academic performance and future careers.
Our Method
The WTS is free of charge to those people who visit us. Focused, face to face consultation sessions team a tutor and a student, during which time new writing skills, tools and processes are developed and explored, each tailored to the student’s individual needs. The art of listening allows the tutors to aid in tackling the personal challenges that a student may be facing.
Our Population
The WTS works with individuals from all academic disciplines within the university, who are at all levels of academic achievement. We offer writing support services to undergraduate and graduate students, teaching assistants and faculty. We believe that the evolution of writing skills continues throughout the university experience. We welcome Carleton students in all their diversity.
Our Staff
We pride ourselves on being a dedicated, diverse and dynamic team which recognizes that our fundamental objective is to put the needs of students first. We seek to provide open and objective assistance to the students who visit our service. As tutors, mentors and facilitators, we aim to provide constructive advice in a personal, friendly manner.
