The Writing Lab

The Yavapai College Writing Lab was created in 2019 by Dr. Karen Palmer and Dr. Sandi Van Lieu to meet the needs of students at Yavapai College. The Writing Lab is staffed by peer tutors who have completed both ENG 101 and 102 and have demonstrated an excellent ability to write well and to provide strong feedback to their peers.

The Writing Lab offers 30 and 60 minute tutoring sessions, in which our tutors will assist students with any stage of the writing process, including editing.
