Your work stays yours

Your paper is yours from the first line to the last. Your tutor teaches, comments and explains; your school login, quizzes and exams stay in your hands.

Your syllabus and Saylor Academy's academic integrity policy set what outside feedback each course welcomes. A study guide fits every course.

Where a tutor helps

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

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.

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

Study guides

A guide to your Saylor Academy 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

Build the skills behind every paper: planning and outlining to the scoring guide, finding and judging scholarly sources in the Saylor Academy 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

Business students get comments on case analyses, strategy memos and reports, with a close look at how the argument is supported.

Finance and accounting students get comments on financial analyses and reports, including how figures and assumptions are explained.

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

Grades and what earns them

Most Saylor Academy 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

  • Covers each rubric criterion fully
  • States its purpose in the first paragraph
  • Backs claims with peer-reviewed sources

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.

Can a tutor help me with research?

Yes. Your tutor shows you how to search the Saylor Academy library databases, choose peer-reviewed sources as current as your course requires, and use the evidence in your argument.

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.

How does writing tutoring help?

Your tutor works with you on planning and writing Saylor Academy 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 Saylor Academy login stays with you.

Is there a study guide for my Saylor Academy 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.
