Communication in All Its Forms. Whether you're crafting an essay, preparing a presentation, diving deep into a reading, or designing a poster that pops, we've got you covered. WORD stands for Written Communication, Oral Communication, Reading, and Design—because great communication comes in many forms.

Ready to level up? The best communicators know that even strong work gets stronger through conversation. We're not here because you're struggling—we're here because you want to take your work to the next level.

Real Students, Real Support

Your tutors are fellow Laurentians who get it. They've been where you are, juggling assignments and figuring out how to say what they really mean. But don't let their friendly faces fool you—they're trained professionals who've completed a full semester course on tutoring. Each brings their own style and strengths to the table, so browse our staff page to find your perfect match.

Here's what makes us different from AI: We actually know your professors, your assignments, and your campus. We care whether your work hits the mark because we've been in your shoes. When you're working on that Philosophy paper or prepping for your Economics presentation, you're talking to someone who's navigated those same challenges and can give you the real peer insight that no algorithm can match.

All Students, All Languages, All Welcome

This space is for everyone. Whether you're a first-year finding your academic voice or a senior polishing your thesis, whether English is your first language or your fifth—you belong here. We celebrate linguistic diversity as a strength and actively work against the idea that there's only one "right" way to communicate. Your authentic voice is exactly what we want to help you develop.

It's a Conversation, Not a Lecture

Forget everything you think you know about tutoring. We don't sit here with red pens ready to "fix" your work. Instead, we have genuine conversations about your ideas, your goals, and your challenges. We'll offer fresh perspectives and suggestions, but you stay in the driver's seat. Your work, your voice, your choices.

Big Picture, Small Details—We Do It All

Stuck on a comma or struggling with your entire argument? Both are fair game. We're here for the nitty-gritty (citations, grammar, transitions) and the big stuff (thesis development, organization, finding your argument). No concern is too small, no project too ambitious.

Want to Join Our Team?

Great tutors aren't born—they're made. If you're a good listener who cares about helping others succeed, you might be perfect for our team. We welcome tutors from every discipline because diverse perspectives make us stronger. Our training course runs every spring (10 spots, application required), and it's one of the most rewarding experiences you can have at St. Lawrence. Find more information on our Work Here page.
