Our goal is to help you become a better writer, so that you can produce better writing.
Please Ask Us To
- Read your writing carefully and respond to it thoughtfully
- Ask you questions about your writing and your writing process
- Help you brainstorm ideas to get started on an assignment
- Listen to you talk out your ideas
- Answer questions about grammar and style
- Teach your strategies for revising your writing
- Talk with you about how to organize your thoughts
Please Do Not Ask Us To
- Revise, edit, or proofread your writing FOR you. Tutoring is a collaborative conversation, and you, as the writer, make the revisions and decisions.
- Comment on a grade you have received or suggest a grade you might receive. We will respond to your writing, but we will not second-guess grades.
- Criticize a professor or his or her assignments, grading policies, or personality. For us to do so would be unethical and unprofessional.
