We have both online and on-ground tutoring available through our Writing Center!

 

For online tutoring, please make a writing tutoring appointment, and you will receive a link to attend your live tutoring appointment with a MC writing tutor. We look forward to helping you be successful in your writing, reading, and study skills this semester!

We also have drop-by tutoring at the Moorpark College Teaching and Learning Center (LLR 3rd floor) Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am-4pm.

  • Sessions are 45 minutes.
  • Students are limited to 1 session per day.
  • Students are limited to 2 appointments per week.
  • Students may request up to 12 appointments per semester.
  • A Writing Center Session Report will be sent to your instructor.
  • If a student arrives more than 10 minutes late, the appointment can be given to a drop-by student.

When you come in for an appointment:

• Identify a goal for your tutoring session.

• Bring your instructor's assignment guidelines (if working on a specific assignment)

• Remember that the tutor’s goal is to help a student gain a greater understanding of writing or reading comprehension concepts and skills. The tutor is not permitted to edit (i.e. fix) a student's paper for the student or to complete homework for the student.

E-Mail Consultations

Students may send a question or an essay/paper to our e-mail at MCWritingCenter@vcccd.edu
Please allow 24-48 hours for a response.
Comments offer general feedback on issues you might want to address through your own revision and editing processes. We will only provide feedback 1 time per paper.

When sending a paper/essay, please provide the following required information:

  • Your name and your student ID number
  • The name of the course and the professor's name
  • The type of assignment (examples: narrative essay, research paper, critique etc)
  • Any directions from the instructor about the requirements of the assignment (examples: 5 pages, MLA citation, use classical argument etc)
  • What concerns you might have or your questions about the paper

A tutor will provide brief comments and guiding questions on the essays in order to help students better understand their own grammatical needs and to pinpoint the areas within the writing that may need clarification. The Writing Center responds only ONE TIME per paper.

Please use MS Word if attaching a paper.
