People

Academic writers benefit from receiving feedback from a range of readers who offer different perspectives on their work. All of our staff have been trained to support academic writers, but each staff member is unique and draws on their own disciplinary training, linguistic background, and personal experiences with writing as they offer you their perspective on your work.

We offer writers the opportunity to meet with a professional writing specialist. Our STEM Writing Specialists are scientists with PhDs and extensive experience communicating technical research to various audiences. Our Generalist Writing Specialists have advanced training in the humanities or social sciences and a deep knowledge of academic writing genres from across all academic disciplines.

Undergraduate writers may work with a writing specialist or a peer tutor. Peer tutors are undergraduates selected for their strong understanding of academic writing and their ability to work collaboratively with peers. All our peer tutors complete a quarter-long training seminar on academic writing and tutoring before beginning their work with writers.
