How to Get the Most of Out of Tutoring

  • Come ready to learn. We help you and guide you as you write.  We don’t write or edit for you.

  • Arrive early and come often.  We can help you improve if we see you frequently.

  • Bring the assignment sheet.  If your professor put the assignment in writing, let us read it so we know what you need to do.

  • Participate during your session.  Tutoring is a conversation about how you can improve your writing.

  • Expect realistic results.  Tutors can help you with only one or two points per session.  If you have a long paper, come several times.

  • Ask questions.  If you don’t understand what the tutors say to you, speak up.  That’s the best way to learn.

  • Follow our recommendations.  After you leave, continue to work on your writing based on what you learned.
