The LU Writing Center can help students to:
- Select a topic
- Gather information
- Develop a working thesis statement

|
The Writing Consultants will also show students how to:

- Edit spelling mistakes
- Find grammatical errors
- Recognize areas that need rewording
- Locate documentation resources
|
The Writing Consultant’s role is to help students improve writing skills by answering questions regarding writing mechanics, organization and content. The Writing Consultant will not “fix” the paper for students seeking assistance. This includes correcting spelling errors, correcting grammar errors, re-wording a thesis statement, or making corrections of any kind. The Writing Center services are provided to show a student “how to” identify and correct these issues him or herself.
Tutoring Services
Tutoring is available to Lindenwood University students seeking to enhance academic performance. This free service assists students in becoming independent learners by reviewing academic techniques such as exam preparation, note taking, analysis of classroom and text materials and helps students apply these techniques toward coursework.
Tutoring is offered for a variety of subjects and classes. Tutor schedules can be viewed at https://pccommon.lindenwood.edu/Tutor%20Lists/, or from any computer on the Lindenwood network by going to the pccommon drive and accessing the folder titled “Tutor Lists”.
