Academic Support Center

The Academic Support Center at Fresno Pacific University equips students with skills to promote their success and growth to advance their educational and personal journeys.

Main Campus Writing Tutors

Writing tutors will work with students as many times as needed in all stages of the writing process to help with development, organization and clarity. Although tutors may offer help with grammatical issues, the Academic Support Center does not provide proofreading services. Tutors can introduce students to resources for paper format and documentation styles as well as resources to improve sentence-level mechanics such as grammar and punctuation. Lengthy papers, ten (10) pages or more may require multiple face-to-face sessions to read and discuss. Not all undergraduate tutors will have adequate background information on individual theses to properly address the needs of graduate papers or theses.
