UMass Global tutoring

Get a tutor's written feedback on your own UMass Global draft, or a study guide that walks you through your program's scoring guides.

  • 49programs supported
  • Draft feedbackon work you wrote
  • Writing tutoringresearch and editing

Your work stays yours

You write every word you submit, and your tutor helps you make it stronger. Your school login, your quizzes and your exams stay with you.

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

Three kinds of help

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.

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

Study guides

A plain-language walkthrough of your program and its scoring guides, with a plan for your next assessments at UMass Global.

  • 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 UMass Global 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.

For teacher-education coursework, tutors look at how your draft ties objectives, assessment and evidence together.

In psychology courses, a tutor checks how your draft uses research findings and whether each claim is supported and cited.

How UMass Global grades your work

Most UMass Global 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

The kinds of papers that come up in these programs, all of which tutors help you plan, research and edit:

  • Case analyses
  • Strategic plans
  • Business proposals
  • Lesson plans
  • Unit plans
  • Curriculum projects
  • Research papers
  • Case conceptualizations
  • Literature reviews

Questions from UMass Global students

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 UMass Global 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 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 UMass Global login stays with you.

Is there a study guide for my UMass Global 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.
