The UW Tacoma Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) invites faculty, staff, and students from all backgrounds to join with us in creating a culture of learning.
Consultants work collaboratively with students in writing, math, science and statistics, helping them to develop the skills, strategies, knowledge, and confidence necessary for academic success.
Writing
Through 30- or 60-minute appointments in person, through Zoom, and asynchronously, we offer support during all stages of the writing process, including:
- Understanding assignments and disciplinary expectations of writing
- Feedback on drafts and other assignments
- Writing strategies, such as:
- Brainstorming and idea development
- Constructing a clear thesis and argument
- Understanding the revision process
- Improving grammar, punctuation, and word choice
- Assistance with citation styles such as MLA, APA, Chicago, IEEE, ASE and AP
Quantitative Skills
We offer consultations for many quantitative subjects, such as:
- Math
- Statistics

- Math review for new students
We also offer support in using software and calculators for math and statistics, as well as in developing the study skills you’ll need for math, statistics and other quantitative subjects.
