Schedule an Appointment
Drop-in hours for the north campus are listed here and drop-in hours for the south campus are listed here. If you would like to make a private appointment come by the ACE office in the Student Success Center or call our office at 406-496-4418.
Students can make a maximum of one appointment per day and two per week. There is no charge to see one of our tutors. If you need to cancel an appointment, we ask that you do so as far in advance as you can – at least 2 hours before the appointment if possible – so that your time slot will be made available for other students. Students who miss two appointments or cancel four times will not be able to make any more appointments for the rest of the semester.
Remember, you need to bring a paper copy of any document with which you’d like help, the assignment description, and the grading rubric.
Who We Are
Mission: The Writers’ Studio is committed to helping Montana Tech students meet their academic and professional goals by becoming better writers. We support independent learning and encourage scholarship by providing one-on-one consultations and workshops tailored to specific classes. Undergraduate students at all levels and in every discipline are welcome!
Directed by Taryn Quayle, the Writers’ Studio is staffed by undergraduate and graduate consultants with extensive writing backgrounds. The Writers’ Studio is located within the Academic Center for Excellence in ENG 102 and our phone number is 406-496-4418.
What We Do
One-on-One Tutorials
The Writers’ Studio is a free service for current Montana undergraduate students. Students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a consultant on issues specific to their own particular needs. Because our aim is to help students become more effective writers, we do not simply proofread or edit documents. We can, however, assist students to become better proofreaders and editors of their own work.
