Choose the Support Format That Works for You

Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments are available through Starfish. Students may meet with a tutor in person, connect virtually, or request written feedback.

In-Person Appointments

Meet face-to-face with a peer tutor on the third floor of the LARC. In-person sessions are a good choice when you want to talk through ideas and collaborate with a tutor in real time.

  • Available in 30- or 60-minute sessions
  • Helpful for papers, presentations, and longer projects
  • Recommended for brainstorming and revision support
  • Walk-ins are welcome when tutors are available
In Starfish, select the in-person Writing Center location when scheduling.

Virtual Appointments

Meet with a tutor online through Microsoft Teams or Zoom and discuss your work in real time from a location that is convenient for you.

  • Available in 30- or 60-minute sessions
  • Share your screen or send your document by email
  • Receive live feedback and ask questions
  • A stable internet connection is recommended
In Starfish, select either “Virtual (Teams)” or “Virtual (Zoom).” Your tutor will send the meeting link before your session.

Written Feedback

Receive written suggestions from a tutor without attending a live meeting. This option is useful when you want feedback saved directly in a document or cannot attend an appointment in real time.

  • Submit a Word document or PDF
  • Include your assignment instructions when available
  • Tutors typically review up to six pages per appointment
  • For longer projects, identify the pages you want reviewed
In Starfish, select “Written Feedback.” Send your draft and assignment materials according to the instructions from your tutor.

Our Approach

Our tutors do more than proofread. We help writers identify areas for improvement, understand feedback, develop revision strategies, and strengthen communication skills they can use in future assignments.

We welcome writers of every experience level and value the knowledge, language, and strengths each student brings to the writing process. We also support students working on collaborative and group projects.

Accessibility and Accommodations

The Writing Center strives to create accessible spaces and learning opportunities for all students. Available accommodations may include extended appointment times, captions for virtual sessions, sign language interpreting, and other forms of support.

The Disability Resource and Support Center can also assist with accommodations for university courses and programs. Call 719-549-2648 or email dro@csupueblo.edu.

Become a Peer Tutor

Interested in helping other students with writing, presentations, or study skills? The Writing Center typically hires peer tutors before the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
