The Stone Writing Center, located on the second floor of the White Library at Del Mar College’s Heritage Campus, provides free, individualized tutoring designed to strengthen and develop students’ writing skills. The center is open to all academic disciplines and assists students at every stage of the writing process.
To increase accessibility, the SWC offers both in-person and online services. On Heritage and Oso Creek campus, professional tutors are available on a walk-in basis to provide guidance in brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing.
