Your work stays yours
Everything you hand in is written by you. Your tutor explains, comments and points the way, and your school account, quizzes and exams stay yours.
Your syllabus and Excelsior's academic integrity policy set what outside feedback each course welcomes. A study guide fits every course.
Where a tutor helps
Pick feedback on something you've written, or a guide to plan what comes next.
Feedback on your draft
You write your paper. Upload it with the scoring guide, and a tutor returns written comments: where it meets each criterion, where it falls short, how your structure and evidence hold up, and what to fix in your APA 7 citations. You make the changes.

Business students get comments on case analyses, strategy memos and reports, with a close look at how the argument is supported.
In nursing courses, tutors comment on care plans, evidence-based practice papers, PICOT questions and literature reviews you've drafted.
For IT and computer science papers, tutors comment on how well your draft explains the problem, the approach and the results.

Common questions
How does draft feedback work?
You share the draft you wrote and its scoring guide. Your tutor marks what already works and what each criterion still needs, and you revise it with those notes.
Can a tutor help me with research?
Yes. Your tutor shows you how to search the Excelsior library databases, choose peer-reviewed sources as current as your course requires, and use the evidence in your argument.
Can a tutor help with editing?
Yes. Your tutor marks grammar, clarity, flow and APA 7 issues in your draft and explains each one, so you can fix them and catch them next time.
How does writing tutoring help?
Your tutor works with you on planning and writing Excelsior papers: turning the scoring guide into an outline, building each section and citing as you go.
What should I share with my tutor?
Your draft, the assignment instructions and the scoring guide, sent straight to your tutor by text or email. Your Excelsior login stays with you.
Is there a study guide for my Excelsior program?
Yes. Ask for one in the form with your program and course, and your tutor sends the guide and goes through its scoring guides with you.
Who sees my work?
Only your tutor. Your draft and your details stay private.
