WCC In-class authentic introductions

Looking for a meaningful way to connect your students with writing and communication support?

The Writing and Communication Centre (WCC) offers brief in-class introductions with an authentic glimpse into the peer tutoring experience. Rather than simply reviewing available services, our introductions demonstrate how peer tutors help students work through common writing challenges, develop effective strategies, and gain confidence in their decision-making as writers and communicators.

Students are also introduced to the WCC's range of support options, including one-to-one appointments, drop-ins, email tutoring, workshops, and self-directed learning resources. 

Complete the request form on the right, and our Workshops and Integrated Programs Coordinator will contact you to arrange a classroom visit this fall 2026 term.

This three-minute video highlights the Writing and Communication Centre's services, such as our appointment, drop-in, and online resource services, and includes some information on our graduate and undergraduate programs.

Bring your class to visit The Write Spot at the WCC

The Write Spot is a student space on the 2nd floor of SCH (opposite Southside Marketplace) where students can get information, resources, and meet with tutors. It has spaces for students to stay and work, including two bookable rooms with quiet space for recording podcasts and with tools for working in groups and practicing presentations.  

Stay and learn: The WCC has a learning classroom where we can host a discussion and answer questions about our services and programs or facilitate a custom workshop or activity. (Room capacity: 18. Based on staff and space availability.)
