Our Commitments

1. (Linguistic) Justice. We are an explicitly anti-oppressive space. We are trained to see how oppression—especially linguistic racism and sexist and ableist language—operates in our space and how to transform our space more inclusive one.  By “linguistic racism,” we mean racism based on the language or language variety a person speaks (for example, African American Vernacular English or Spanglish).

Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes. While you can sometimes walk in and find a tutor available, we primarily operate via appointments.  Appointments are set for 45 minutes, and you're not required to stay the whole time. You can make an appointment up to one hour before an appointment time. Log on to Starfish to find our availability.

Our next round of applications and hiring will be in Fall 2025. 

The WORD Studio calls for applications during the fall semester each academic year. 

Required Appointment Worksheets

If you’re requiring appointments this semester, consider having students fill out this worksheet before and after the tutorial so that they are focused and engaged during the tutorial, and get more out of their visit to the WORD Studio.
