The Writing Centre offers various services to help you to improve your writing skills:

• Tutorials
  These are free one-on-one sessions with a writing tutor. In an appointment of up to an hour, you can go over your essay and help identify and improve your weaknesses. Tutors will teach you to handle many of the problems that arise at various stages of the writing process: working with a preliminary draft, questions about research, or even a debilitating case of writer’s block.
  Call 613-533-6315, or come to the Writing Centre Office in the Learning Commons to book your appointment today.
  Please note: The Writing Centre is not a proofreading service.
  
  
• Workshops
  There are a variety of different workshops to meet your specific writing needs. Presentations such as "How to Write Your First University Essay," "Writing Effective Thesis Statements," or "Avoiding Plagiarism" can help you to develop your writing skills.
