We know our writing and language development improves when we get to talk about it with others at various stages of the process.
We help you develop your academic writing skills and your approach to the writing process through meaningful conversations about your writing in individual appointments, workshops, and writing groups.
If you are a multilingual student and want to improve your English language skills, you can participate in individual and group sessions and access classroom instruction to help improve your writing, speaking and listening, oral presentation, and reading skills.
Due to PDF file TMU Policy , we are unable to help with take home tests or exams.

Appointments
We offer three types of individual appointments:
For students who use English as an additional language. Build your vocabulary, fluency, and confidence. Meet with a member of the student staff and practice and improve your spoken English skills. Engage in structured language activities or have an informal conversation - you can also practice an oral presentation and receive critical feedback.
Meet with a member of the student staff and go through a written assignment. Staff serve as a "second reader" and will help you identify errors with grammar, usage, word choice, and style, helping you to become a more effective self-editor.
Meet with a trained writing consultant to discuss your academic writing. Ask questions, and get thoughtful, critical feedback that will help you move forward. Come in at any stage of the writing process.
Virtual Drop-in Hours
How it works
Drop-ins are for same-day requests, and on a first come, first served basis. The Zoom link will be available for the duration of drop-in hours. If a consultant is available, they will see you immediately. If the consultant is already with a student, we will let you know when a spot becomes available. We will do our best to accommodate all requests, however, drop-ins are not guaranteed.
Note: There are no drop-ins during the Spring/Summer semester. Drop-In appointments will resume in the fall 2022 Semester.
The drop-in Zoom link can be found in the document below:
