Academic Writing Centre
The Academic Writing Centre offers free one-on-one teaching sessions tailored to the needs of individual students.
We believe that when it comes to writing, there is always room for improvement. Therefore, we welcome all of you—those who are new to essay writing and experienced writers alike.
In addition to help with grammar, punctuation, and spelling, we provide assistance with essay structure and overall writing process. For example, you may find it difficult to start writing an essay, or have trouble focusing on one aspect of a broad topic. We can ‘get you started’ or help you clarify your ideas.
The Academic Writing Centre is primarily a drop-in facility. However appointments can be booked at specific times.
For the best learning experience, you should bring your written work with you. Some students bring completed assignments; others bring rough drafts or notes. Please note, however, that we are not an editing or proof-reading service.
Announcement
Please note that the centre is now closed. Some writing support will be available after the Easter Break. We would like to thank all students who have used the Centre over the past year. Please email the manager at writingcentre@nuigalway.ie if you have any questions or suggestions.
