The Santa Barbara City
College Writing Center, located in the Cartwright
Learning Resources Center, is a valuable academic
support service that is available to all SBCC students
in all subject areas. Professional, trained tutors
work one-on-one with students in all stages of the
writing process in order to complement classroom writing
instruction and assist students in meeting the reading
and writing demands of their courses.
By working with tutors, students are able to expand
their critical thinking and problem solving skills
through interaction and student-centered dialogue,
which requires active student involvement and mutual,
concentrated analysis of the students' work. Tutors
will not "correct" or "edit" student papers, but will
utilize leading questions, print and web resources,
relevant examples, and follow-up sessions to support
students in planning, outlining, revising, or finalizing
their writing assignments.
You may call the Writing Center at 805-965-0581 x2663.

Writing tutors assist students from all classes across the curriculum. These induvidual tutorial sessions
last approximately 30 minutes. Students may visit the Writing Center a maximum of 3 times each week
and no more than once a day. Learn
more about how to meet with a writing tutor.
The OWL is a list of online learning resources to help students improve their writing skills. Here you
will find a collection of WCenter handouts and links to other websites and reference tools to help you with
your writing, either at home or in conjunction with Writing Center tutorials on campus.
Go to the OWL page.
As part of the CLRC workshop series, we have several
Writing Skills Workshops scheduled for the current semester.
The skills and strategies learned in the workshops can be applied to writing in classes across the curriculum.
Instructors may invite a Writing Center representative to their classroom, or schedule a visit to the Center,
for an informative presentation about our services and how we can assist students in meeting the writing
demands of their classes. Submit a request
for an orientation here or view a brief orientation here.
Applications are accepted year-round and placed into a pool for consideration for future openings; interviews
by invitation only. Potential tutor applicants may read
more about applying here.
