Welcome!

Welcome to the UAEU writing center! To get started, let us first tell you more about who we are and what we do:

Writing is a powerful tool that helps people communicate their ideas with the world. Learning to write is a life-long process that requires great skill and determination. That is why students can always improve their writing by sharing their work with attentive teachers and peers who in turn may provide valuable feedback.

The writing center is a free service available to students and faculty at UAEU. We are a group of friendly teachers and peer tutors who help undergraduate (primarily UGRU) students to cultivate their writing skills and build their confidence in both academic and creative writing. We offer writing workshops and presentations on all kinds of writing.

Simply put, we help students to become better writers
