Who We Are
The English Writing Center provides English writing and oral communication support for University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez students. We are a safe haven for writers and English language learners regardless of their level of proficiency or stage in the writing process.
What We Do
Our fully bilingual and academically-diverse peer tutors conduct one-on-one tutoring conferences, conversational English sessions, and a variety of workshops targeting typical areas of writing difficulty. Our goal is to help writers, from any academic discipline and level, become better writers.

Visiting Us
Monday - Friday
8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Please arrive at the Center no later than 3:30 p.m. so that there’s sufficient time to attend you. We generally open the second week of classes and remain open until the last week of classes. We observe all the holidays and academic recesses in the UPRM academic calendar.
All UPRM students are welcome at the English Writing Center! No appointment is necessary for our general tutoring sessions (20-30 minutes); just drop in during the Center’s hours of operation and wait for the next available tutor. For assistance with written assignments or projects you must bring a hard copy of your work (preferably double-spaced); for conversational English sessions you must bring a list of topics or prompts you would like to discuss with the tutor. Graduate students and advanced undergraduates working on longer projects such as conference papers, theses and mini-theses (tesinas) should schedule hour-long appointments in advance. You may request your appointment in person at the EWC or via email by sending a message to [email protected] indicating the days and times when you are available for an appointment.
Bear in mind that we are a peer-tutoring center, not a professional editorial service. Thus, authors must be present during the tutoring session and may not send their work with friends or colleagues.
