Lake Tahoe Community College Library Writing Center

Writing Center

The Writing Center is Closed
during Summer.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Writing Center is to assist students with writing across the curriculum.

We hope to create an environment where students feel comfortable seeking help and receiving feedback on any writing assignment, including brainstorming ideas, drafting essays, and revising their prose.

Our instructors and tutors will work one-on-one with students in order to help each student develop and refine his or her writing skills.
