FEBRUARY 11, 2025

Due to the expected snow, Tuesday, 2/11/25, and probably Wednesday, 2/12/25, the Writing Center will operate online.  Feel free to make Live Online or Written Online appointments.  Thank you!

Welcome to the Spring 2025 Undergraduate University Writing Center! We offer 3 kinds of tutoring this semester:
1. Face-to-Face appointments in the Writing Center (Wilson 1106); these are best for brainstorming and organizing;
2. Live Online appointments: these are best for brainstorming and organizing;
3. Written Online appointments: these are best for draft review. Please attach a Word file (no Google docs or pdfs) to your appointment, or your tutor will have nothing to which to respond.  

  • Selecting the best tutor for your needs is important; some specialize in writing in their disciplines.  However, all are trained in assisting with ENGL 101 and 102 assignments.
  • We currently have 7 tutors, and we might add another one or two: Zach, Finance major and Senior Tutor; Nola, Pre-Med Major and Senior Tutor; Stella, Art Education major and Senior Tutor; Daneisha, English major; Favour, Rehabilitation Services major; Jamia, Rehabilitation Psychology major; Pearl, English Education major.

  • ENGL 305 Technical Writing tutors:  Zach, Nola, Jamia, Favour.  
  • To benefit you, we now allow until 1 hour before your appointment for you to make, edit (by attaching a Word document), or cancel an appointment.
  • If you have any questions, email Dr. Terry Kundell, Director of the Writing Center, at tlkundell@umes.edu or Zach Solembrino, Senior Tutor and Assistant to the Director, at zbsolembrino@umes.edu.
