The Sam Houston Writing Center provides one-on-one tutoring
help with all writing for SHSU students. We will help
you at any stage of your writing project, from thinking
about the assignment or task, understanding your audience,
researching the topic, creating a thesis, selecting your
evidence, organizing your ideas, developing your paragraphs,
creating transitions, writing clear, grammatical sentences,
to editing your revised draft. We also provide workshops
on aspects of writing.
If you are a student in an off-campus class, you may
submit your papers through our Distance Tutoring
service.
We
offer a number of handouts and links to help you
with your assignments. Use this link to find them.
