Language Arts Tutorial Services Program (LATS)

LATS offers one-on-one tutoring sessions in a wide range of disciplines, with an emphasis on the six college writing programs, AWP courses, and foreign languages. Individual tutoring is provided by knowledgeable, well-trained tutors who specialize in their respective college writing program and disciplines. Tutors are available to assist you during your entire writing process from interpreting a prompt to polishing a final draft.
