We at the Takoma Park / Silver Spring Writing, Reading, and Language Center are committed to empowering all students in the Montgomery College Community by helping them acquire tools to communicate effectively in order to achieve their goals. We believe that one-to-one, collaborative and individuated educational opportunities are a necessary complement to whole-class instruction in facilitating student success. We provide a welcoming, non-judgmental, process-oriented environment where all students can learn to become independent and articulate writers, discerning readers, critical thinkers and proficient speakers in an increasingly global society.
