About Peer Tutoring and English 51/52 in room 70-119
The English Writing Center (EWC) is part of the
English Department. Currently staffed with both English instructors
and English Reading and Writing Skills Peer Tutors, the EWC’s mission is to help
students improve their overall writing skills in terms of proper
grammar usage and development of coherent and well-organized essays.
In addition, our mission is to help students improve the textbook
reading, vocabulary, and study skills. The EWC is open to all students at Grossmont College. Students are
encouraged to bring any reading, vocabulary, and/or writing
assignments to the EWC to receive
assistance from either an instructor or an English Skills Peer
Tutor.
The EWC contributes to student success at Grossmont College by
providing the following:
-
English Skills Peer Tutoring for reading and
writing
-
English 51 and English 52 instructor-led small group instruction
on any writing skills topic
-
Enhancement of student’s writing, punctuation, and grammar skills
through use of English grammar software
-
Grammar and composition-related handouts
-
Reading, study skills, and note-taking handouts
-
Other reading and writing skills resources such as dictionaries, thesauruses,
and grammar handbooks to use in the EWC
Before seeking peer-tutoring help, students must enroll in

Students will be given an add code and will enroll via Web Connect.
Students enrolled in ESL 96, 100,103, and 106 need not register for
