Q.
What will you help me with?
English tutors will:
Help you at every stage of the writing process particularly during
the beginning stages. They will help you to prepare for assignments
by brainstorming and thinking through different approaches to writing.
Tutors can help you to identify problems in the drafting stage so
that you can better revise your paper. They can help you with grammar
issues and will show YOU how to proofread your own paper.
English tutors will not:
Rewrite your papers. They are NOT a proofreading service.
Q.
I have a paper due tomorrow and I would like a tutor to look it
over. Is this permissible?
While it is permissible, keep in mind that the tutor will not make
the corrections to your paper; they will highlight the areas where
there are weaknesses. Ideally, bring in a paper at least a week
before it is due so that there is enough time for you to make your
own revisions.
Q.
English is not my native language. Can you help students who have
ESL issues?
Yes. Individual tutors are available as is Plato, an interactive
software program. Plato is proving to be very useful for students
who are still learning to master English.
