“The OHSU writing center has been a life saver for me. I started using the writing center since I began my college education because I am a ESL student and also because I like to have someone to look at my writing besides a colleague.  With the OHSU writing center, I feel that my writing skills have been getting better thanks to the support I get from the writing tutors. I like the online part, the ability to interact with the tutors and be able to email assignments without having to meet face to face. Another thing I like is the feedback that the writing tutors provide, the feedback is very rich and helpful.  I think that a huge part with sharing your writing with another person is the ability to have and feel trust with the person that is going to read your writing, because writing is very personal. I feel that with all the OHSU writing tutors that I have worked in the past, they have been amazing in building that trust and taking the time of getting to know the students they are working with, so students feel confident in sharing their writing.”
