Free Writing Lab

The TLC Writing Lab operates Sunday through Thursday from 6:00-8:00 p.m. to assist students with any college writing assignment. This resource is much more than just a proof-reading service! Writing Lab Instructors work with students individually, teaching them how to organize their ideas and express them more clearly. Students are encouraged to work with a Writing Lab Instructor several times before an assignment is due in order to get the best results. Many students find it helpful to come in during the early stages of the writing process to get help with challenges like brainstorming ideas, organizing a paper outline, or developing a strong thesis statement. Call the TLC at (707) 965-7688 to set up a Writing Lab appointment or look for the green Writing Lab appointments sign-up sheet when you walk through the door. Walk-ins are also welcome!

Individual Tutoring (Free to qualified students)

PUC students may qualify for individual tutoring services by meeting one or more of the following criteria:

1. The student either has or is in the process of getting documentation for disabilities services. Call Nancy Jacobo, Disabilities Support Services Coordinator, at (707) 965-7685 for more information.
2. The student has obtained a special professor recommendation to receive individual tutoring.
3. The student participates in the TLC Academic Mentoring Program, regularly meeting with a TLC Academic Mentor.

Individual tutoring is available for any PUC course, provided a qualified peer tutor is available for that subject area. Individual tutors typically work with students two hours a week to supplement TLC Group Study Sessions. Individual tutoring request forms are available in the TLC.
