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 Samford's academic integrity policy set what outside feedback each course welcomes. A study guide fits every course.

Three kinds of help

Help that fits how Samford courses are graded: on the scoring guide, criterion by criterion.

Feedback on your draft

Share a draft you've written and the rubric it's graded on. Your tutor marks what already works, what each criterion still needs, and where your citations or structure slip, then you revise it yourself.

  • Comments on every scoring guide criterion
  • Structure, evidence and clarity
  • APA 7 citations and references

Study guides

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

  • Your program's courses, in order
  • What each scoring guide rewards
  • A plan for your next assessments

Writing, research and editing tutoring

Build the skills behind every paper: planning and outlining to the scoring guide, finding and judging scholarly sources in the Samford library, and editing your own draft for clarity, grammar and APA 7.

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

Nursing students send care plans, quality-improvement proposals and evidence summaries; tutors show where each one meets or misses the rubric.

How Samford grades your work

Your Samford grade is built criterion by criterion from the rubric. Your tutor turns that rubric into a checklist you can write to, then reviews your draft against it.

What a top-scoring paper has

  • Covers each rubric criterion fully
  • States its purpose in the first paragraph
  • Backs claims with peer-reviewed sources
  • Explains why the evidence matters
  • Clean APA 7 formatting throughout

What you'll write

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

  • Care plans
  • PICOT questions
  • Evidence-based practice papers

Common questions

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.

Do tutors help with editing and proofreading?

Yes. Your tutor highlights spelling, grammar, wording and citation issues and shows you how to correct them, so your own editing gets sharper with every paper.

What is writing tutoring?

Working one step at a time on the skills that earn the grade: a clear thesis, an outline that follows the scoring guide, strong paragraphs and correct citations.

What do I send?

The draft you wrote, the instructions and the scoring guide. Earlier instructor comments help your tutor see what to focus on.

How do I get a study guide?

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

Who sees my work?

Only your tutor. Your draft and your details stay private.
