The Writing Centre is staffed by friendly VIU faculty tutors interested in talking about any aspect of your writing, whether it's clear writing, thesis statements, citation and documentation, grammar, or organizing an argument. Even if you just want to discuss an assignment before you get started (or at any other stage in the writing process), the Writing Centre is the place to come. The Writing Centre is also home to a tutor from International Academic Support whose focus is on English language learning for international students (but we are happy to see international students too). For more information on the Writing Centre, check out our introductory video.
