The Language Hub is the Midland College writing center where all MC students have access to FREE tutoring by faculty, staff, and trained peer tutors. The Hub also houses resources such as computers, printers, and reference books for student use.
The Language Hub offers tutor assistance in all steps of the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting to final revisions. Tutors help with formatting issues, research, and citations.
