Writing Tutors are here to help with your assignments!

The semester is quickly flying by. We are more than halfway through the first term, and for many that means it’s time to start submitting assignments and term papers. For new students, this may be a lot to process at once, and for returning students, who may be taking more advanced courses, there may be an adjustment period for the new workloads. It is the season for papers. Instead of stressing and rushing to meet deadlines alone, know that there are those who can support students in their writing skills at the University of Manitoba.
