Writing Center consultants are members of the English faculty and other experts at the Virginia Beach Campus of Tidewater Community College. They do not write, edit, or revise student work but will suggest strategies for improvement.

The Writing Center also offers resources to faculty through consultations about design and implementation of writing assignments, reference materials on writing, or short seminars on request. The Writing Center, in addition, serves the public with the Grammar Hotline.
