Faculty Resources
Writing Tutoring offers by appointment and drop-in tutoring, live remote tutoring and tutoring via email for students in all classes, including those outside of English. Tutors typically assist students with the following writing tasks:
- Breaking down complex writing assignments
- Brainstorming and narrowing topic and thesis
- Planning, gathering, and organizing ideas
- Conducting viable research
- Drafting and revision
- Learning to proofread for specific problem areas
- Properly citing research
Writing Tutoring is perfect for “point-of-need” consultations as students work through the writing process. Tutors can and do, however, also work with students on an ongoing basis.
Writing tutors are undergraduate ѿappStark students who have completed a 3-credit, upper-division course in tutoring writers. Each tutor is mentored and peer-certified before working with students. Coming from a range of majors, the tutors function as “knowledgeable peers” to less experienced student writers and as collaborative learners to more advanced writers.
