Writing Center Tutoring is Back in Person!
Starting the second week of classes, the Writing Center offers in-person appointments before 4 p.m. and a few online appointments after 4 p.m. You can make your appointment the same way you always have: by logging in or creating an account at https://binghamton.mywconline.com and choosing an appointment that suits your schedule.
You can also add your name to a waiting list for as many specific days as you like. If you update your profile with your cell number and carrier, you’ll receive a text when an appointment becomes available.
We tutor all students, from all disciplines, on all assignments!
The Writing Center provides free tutoring in college writing for all students. Our excellent tutors are available Monday-Friday to assist you with any assignment from any class—essays, arguments, research papers, reports, analyses, editorials, proposals, abstracts, and lab reports, with critical reading, developing presentations, and citing sources.
Our friendly tutors are here to help every student from every college and school—native speakers and ELL, undergrads and grad students—to become better writer. They guide and consult with you as you work on your written assignment.
