Learning Support Services West Writing/Language The Center for Student Success (Building 22), First Floor (Room 101) 360-596-5472 | learningsupport@spscc.edu spscc.edu/students/learning Learning Support Services West offers free tutoring services for all current SPSCC students in academic writing and reading, as well as American Sign Language (ASL), Japanese, Spanish, and other languages. Students receive feedback and support from experienced writing tutors on any writing project for any class–or even for nonacademic writing such as resumes, cover letters, and application essays. Tutors offer help for all stages of the writing process, including brainstorming, developing ideas, writing a thesis statement, organizing an essay, and documenting research. Rather than simply fix grammatical errors, tutors help students better understand grammar, academic writing conventions, and the writing process, as well as how to edit their own writing for clarity. One-on-one tutoring appointments last 25 minutes; reservations are recommended. Call, email, or visit in person to make an appointment.
