About the PPCC Writing Center 

The Writing Center, staffed by PPCC faculty, instructors, professional tutors, and peer tutors offers a full range of one-on-one assistance with reading, writing, critical thinking and study skills. We serve students and faculty at all campuses, and we offer online tutoring via email and real-time chat as well. For reading and writing projects in any discipline, the PPCC Writing Center can help in a variety of areas including critical reading, topic focus, content development, organization, research strategies, and documentation.

Students who visit the PPCC Writing Center, either by appointment or drop-in, may expect individualized assistance from our well trained and competent staff. Handouts covering common writing concerns are available both in print and online, and we have offer many other resources as well including PPCC network computers, an Online Grammar Workshop, a variety of reference materials, and Special Topics Workshops.

We open on the first day of classes each semester, and we serve the college through the last day of regular classes. Our operating hours are posted on all campuses and on the Tutoring/Workshop Schedule page.
