Welcome!

The Writing Center, located inside the Hostos Academic Learning Center (HALC), offers Hostos Community College students one-on-one and small-group tutoring as well as in-center workshops and online writing resources.

We believe that writing is a complex set of skills that each of us has to cultivate as we continue to learn and think. Our goal in each of our tutoring sessions is to offer students information, techniques, and suggestions they can use as they work to make their writing better.

We see writing as a process that is difficult and sometimes frustrating but that can be made easier—and more enjoyable—when writers talk to one another about their ideas and share models and strategies with one another.

While students might not leave the Writing Center with “perfect” papers, they will leave the Writing Center with knowledge, direction, and support that will help them improve their writing.

Please take some time to look at our website and learn more about our tutoring services, in-center workshops, and online writing resources (including online tutoring) and a question and answer blog for students.
