Graduate Writing Support

Writing tutoring appointments can be scheduled through Starfish in the portal.

The Center for Academic Achievement supports the writing of graduate students seeking advanced degrees by employing accomplished undergraduate, graduate, and professional tutors. Tutors provide support for all types of writing in any and all disciplines. Students may schedule an appointment through Starfish in the mylasalle portal.

Students may also request administrative tutoring for larger writing projects, including theses or dissertations. To do so, email tutoringsupport@lasalle.edu and describe your writing project and the nature of your writing support needs.

Writing Workshops and Academic Success Seminars

The Center for Academic Achievement hosts regular writing workshops and academic success seminars. These in-person and online sessions tackle topics such as APA citation, improving proofreading skills, time management strategies, and preparing for exams. Students should stay up to date through email for upcoming sessions for a full schedule. Workshop reminders are also frequently announced on the portal.

One-on-One Academic Coaching

These individual sessions help to strengthen crucial skills necessary for academic success. Session topics include time management, study strategies, reading strategies, note-taking, test-taking, and organization. To schedule an individual coaching appointment, email tutoringsupport@lasalle.edu.
