Tutoring Procedures

• Please come prepared to your tutoring sessions. Bring your assignments with specific questions.
• The Writing Center focuses on higher order writing concerns such as content, structure, organization, etc. While we do offer instruction for sentence level concerns like grammar, we do not provide editing or proofreading services.
• If the tutor agrees that grammar instruction should be addressed  in the session, the tutor will point out consistent errors, and instruct you on the grammar rules. You are then responsible for applying that instruction on your own when you revise your paper.
