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 University of Maryland Global Campus 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.
Is there a study guide for my University of Maryland Global Campus 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.
Is my draft kept private?
Yes. Your draft and details are shared only with your tutor.
