Coaching Services

Simmons is committed to the academic success of its students. Whether you need in-depth assistance or a little help to become a more polished writer, we tailor our services to fit your needs.

Office Hours and Appointments

The Simmons Writing Center is housed in the computer lab within the Simmons Library (1000 S 4th St, Louisville, KY 40203). Beginning with the Spring 2024 semester, the Writing Center will offer daily office hours in the library. During these allotted times, students may come in and ask for help without an appointment. On other days and at other times, students must make an appointment with the coach of their choice. There is no guarantee someone will be available without an appointment. Professor Joel Williams is also available via Zoom on Saturdays by appointment only. Students must reach out to him directly to schedule an appointment.

Office Hours Schedule

Group Workshops and Events

The Writing Center offers workshops on writing and citation during the academic year. The events for Fall 2024 will take place in the Writing Center, located within the Library. As well as a physical space, we will be hosting all workshops and events online via Zoom. Check your Canvas announcements and Simmons email for upcoming workshops, events, and details on how to register.
