MISSION STATEMENT: Built upon a program founded in 2014 by graduate student instructors, The Art of Writing Tutoring Program promotes UC Berkeley undergraduates’ success in writing, focusing on their acquisition of foundational skills in Reading & Composition courses. We offer free, one-one-one peer support for students taking R1A or R1B in the departments of Comparative Literature, English, Film & Media, and Rhetoric. Our tutors are department majors with proven writing skills. Tutoring is targeted and disciplinary-specific, responding to the parameters of R&C instruction and the challenges faced by R&C student writers in each department. You are welcome to take advantage of this tutoring service at any point in the writing process: tutors will be available to help with the early stages of brainstorming and organizing, with drafts- and revisions-in-progress, and with sentence-level writing issues. Tutors do not offer copyediting or proofreading services, but they can help you identify patterns of error and stylistic weaknesses in your writing.
