Welcome to The Learning Center at Purchase College.  Our writing tutors are available to help students at any stage in the process.  Writing tutors are here to offer suggestions on getting started, revising, and organizing papers.  The writing tutors will not proofread students' papers; instead, the tutors will work closely with students on developing, improving, and refining their writing skills. 

Here are some useful links for different stages of the writing process:
