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 SUNY Empire State 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.
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 SUNY Empire State 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.
