The Reading/Writing Center (RWC), located in Williams 222C, is devoted to individualized instruction in reading and writing. Part of the English Department, the RWC serves Florida State University students at all levels and from all majors. Its clients include a cross-section of the campus: first-year students writing personal essays, upper level sudents writing term papers, seniors composing letters of applications for jobs and graduate schools, graduate students working on theses and dissertations, multilingual students mastering English, and a variety of others.

The tutors in the Center, all graduate students in English with training and experience in teaching composition, use a process-centered approach to help students at any stage of their writing or reading: from getting ideas, to building vocabulary, to writing and revising. The RWC does not provide editing or proofreading services. Its tutors can, however, help writers build their own editing and proofreading skills.
