Please bring the details of your assignment. If your session is in-person, bring a printed copy of your writing. If online, send your writing in a Google Doc or Microsoft Word file to your tutor before the session. 

If you are looking for your work to be edited or proofread, you must schedule an appointment for a tutor to do that with you in real time. This is the best way to learn and improve your writing!

For virtual sessions, you'll need a reliable internet connection and access to Zoom.

Unfortunately, our services are only for MICA students and alums.
