What/why/how:

At a writing tutoring session, you can expect:

• An encouraging and supportive resource to develop your writing
• Someone to respond to your writing with questions
• Someone to take your thinking and writing seriously
• An active session where you are always the author of any changes to a paper

You can get assistance with:

• Understanding the assignment
• Getting started, planning, outlining, revising
• Writing with audience and purpose in mind
• Topic selection and narrowing
• Focusing a thesis
• Choosing credible source material
• Integrating source material
• Using academic citation styles such as APA, MLA, Chicago
• Developing logical structure
• Recognizing and resolving sentence-level problems
• Crafting transitions and style
• Choosing appropriate words
• Developing presentations

Because we are here to help you develop a sustainable writing practice, we will not merely proofread or copy edit papers.
