GSA Writing 1on1 Assistance

With the semester really kicking into gear, it’s time to start writing again! If you feel stuck on a writing assignment, are having trouble getting started, or just want to polish up what you already have, then come see me, Ivan “Blue” Perez, GSA’s Writing Advisor! I am available on select hours Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to graduate students of any discipline for virtual tutoring sessions.

A little bit about myself: I earned my Bachelors’s Degree in English Literature, along with a minor in Writing and another in Ancient Studies, here at UMBC in the Spring of 2021. I worked at the UMBC Writing Center for about three years and have been continuing that work with you all. In my free time, I like to play video games, watch TV, read (I particularly enjoy Fantasy), and write. My favorite book is I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, my current favorite TV show is Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and my favorite color is, unsurprisingly, blue.

You can bring any writing at any stage of the writing process to an appointment. That means you can come to me with a rough draft, a polished draft, an outline, or even just an idea. Are you working on your thesis? Book an appointment early and we can start planning it out, with follow-up meetings throughout the semester. Have another assignment or piece of writing that you want to work on? That’s fine too! Bring it in and I will help you get your writing to where you want it to be.

Appointments are free and function on a first-come, first-serve basis. Appointments are an hour long and can currently be done online either synchronously or asynchronously. Each appointment has a 10-page, double-spaced limit. Visit https://gsa.umbc.edu/writing-advisor/ for more information and to book an appointment. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you!
