Would you like to meet with a Peer Tutor to talk through your Philosophy classwork, homework, papers and more?
The Department of Philosophy is pleased to partner with CAS Writing Program’s Tutoring Writing in the Disciplines to offer peer tutoring and writing support for undergraduate students. Our tutors are Philosophy majors who offer support at any step of the writing process.
Tutoring Writing in the Disciplines (TWID) is a discipline-based peer writing tutoring program. Department-based peer writing tutors, trained by the WID Director in tutoring practices, provide writing support to students in all courses within a discipline. Initially funded by CAS and a grant provided by Digital Education Incubator, TWID is now supported in part by a gift from Jennifer Simpson (CAS ’00). Read more here about TWID.
