Writing Center and Speaking Center Services
At APU’s Writing Center, you can get free assistance with any writing project, at any stage of the process. Choose from one-on-one, group, remote, or in-class workshop options. The Writing Center is available to students (undergraduate through doctoral), faculty, and staff across APU’s campuses, including regional locations.
You can also polish your public speaking, presentation writing, and delivery with the Speaking Center.
If you’re looking for course- or subject-specific help, swing by the APU Tutoring Center. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

We offer a variety of in-class workshops. If you would like a coach to present a writing or speaking topic workshop, fill out our Writing Center Service Request Form.
