What is the Writing Center?

The Albright Writing Center is a free peer tutoring service to assist you in writing for all of your courses. The center is located on the main Reading campus in room #105 in the Center for Computing and Mathematics. The coordinator, a composition instructor, is also available for consultation (see her contact information at the bottom of the page). Our current hours of operation and system for making appointments with peer tutors can be found through our online records and appointment system.

What if I can’t visit in person?

Students in regular daytime courses on main campus are required to visit our center in person. However, students in the Accelerated Degree Programs (Degree Start Program and Degree Completion Program) have additional options due to the nature of the program. If you are in the DSP or DCP program, click here for our flyer on “Writing Center Services for DCP/DSP Students.”  

Can you help me with research skills?

We can assist you with research skills, but for library-based research we also encourage you to contact the college’s reference librarians at Gingrich Library: 610-921-7211.

What if I need assistance with other subjects?

We can assist with your writing-related work for all courses.  If you need a tutor for other subject areas or want to meet with a staff member to discuss college success and study skills, please contact the college’s other academic support center—the Academic Learning Center at 610-921-7662, academiclearningcenter@albright.edu, or B-07 (Lower Level) Administration Building. The Academic Learning Center website can be found here.

I have additional questions. How can I contact you?

If you have questions, please contact the Writing Center at writingcenter@alb.edu or (610) 921-7540. The coordinator, Rachel Liberatore, can be reached at rliberatore@alb.edu, in her office in the Center for Computing and Mathematics, room #103, or at (610) 921-7854.
