Old Dominion University tutoring

Tutoring for Old Dominion students: comments on the work you wrote, and guides that make each scoring guide clear before you start.

  • 134programs supported
  • Draft feedbackon work you wrote
  • Writing tutoringresearch and editing

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.

Old Dominion's academic integrity policy and your instructor's guidance come first, and a study guide works for every course.

Three kinds of help

Choose what helps most this week. Either way, the work you hand in is your own.

Feedback on your draft

Send the draft you wrote and the assignment's scoring guide. A tutor reads it against every criterion and sends back comments on your argument, your sources and your APA 7 formatting, so you know exactly what to revise.

  • Each criterion, checked against your draft
  • Where your argument and sources need work
  • APA 7 in-text citations and reference list

Study guides

A guide to your Old Dominion program: how its courses are laid out, what each scoring guide asks for, and how to plan your assessments so nothing catches you late.

  • The courses ahead in your program
  • Scoring guides explained in plain words
  • A week-by-week study plan

Writing, research and editing tutoring

Get better at the writing Old Dominion courses ask for: a clear thesis, a structure that follows the scoring guide, sources you can trust, and editing that catches what you missed.

  • Planning and outlining to the scoring guide
  • Library research and peer-reviewed sources
  • Editing your own draft, line by line

Health administration and public health students send policy briefs and program evaluations for comments on evidence and structure.

IT students get feedback on project write-ups, requirement documents and technical reports, written for the reader each rubric describes.

In education programs, a tutor reviews your unit plan or reflective essay and shows where it connects theory to classroom practice.

How Old Dominion grades your work

Most Old Dominion assignments come with a rubric that grades each criterion separately. Your tutor reads your draft against it, so you see where you'll earn full marks and what lifts the rest.

What a top-scoring paper has

  • Answers every criterion in the rubric, in order
  • A clear thesis carried through each section
  • Current, scholarly evidence for each claim
  • Analysis that applies the evidence to the case
  • Correct APA 7 citations and references

What you'll write

Assignments Old Dominion students in these programs often write, and the ones tutors help with most:

  • Policy briefs
  • Program evaluations
  • Health promotion plans
  • Project plans
  • Requirements documents
  • Technical reports
  • Lesson plans
  • Unit plans

Questions from Old Dominion students

What does a tutor do with my draft?

Your tutor reads it against your scoring guide and comments on each criterion, your structure, your evidence and your APA 7. You make the revisions, so every word stays yours.

Do you offer research help?

Yes. Your tutor teaches you how to find scholarly sources, judge their quality, take notes you can cite, and build them into your paper.

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 Old Dominion 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 Old Dominion login stays with you.

How do I get a study guide?

Choose A study guide in the form and tell us your Old Dominion program and course. Your tutor sends the guide and walks you through it.
