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 91²Ö¿â Stark 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.
