COMM Lab

The Georgia State University Communication Lab assists Communication students with all aspects of writing and speaking. Our graduate-level tutors can help with brainstorming, rough draft reviews, AP style issues, grammar concerns and speech presentations.

How We Can Help

COMM Lab tutors are available at various times throughout the week and weekend to assist in whatever areas Communication students request support. Whether it’s writing (AP/MLA/APA style), grammar (its or it’s?) speaking (speech presentations), brainstorming (I don’t know where to start!) or organizing (making things “flow”), we are here to help.

Hi! My name is Jayne Feldman, and I am a graduate student pursuing my M.A. in Mass Communication at Georgia State. I graduated with my B.A. in journalism from GSU in May 2020, and I have a passion for writing, editing and storytelling. Before starting my current program, I worked for WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS in the public relations departments.
