Students say ...
I've used the Writing Centre and encouraged students to use their services. In my practice, I developed new tools for editing and enhancing clarity when discussing complex ideas. For my students, I've seen significant improvement in their ability to meet and exceed assignment requirements after attending one-on-one sessions.
