We are here to help, but please respect the rules!

  • You must book your appointments online (unless it is a month-long request). 
  • If you are more than 10 minutes late, another student can take your appointment.
  • Bring your assignment guidelines so the tutor knows what your instructor expects.

  • Come with something specific you want to ask about or work on.
  • The tutor cannot help a student before sessions or for “just two minutes.” Sessions are a minimum of 30 minutes and must be booked online.
  • One student per session.
  • The tutor is not here to fix your essay or give you ideas.
  • The tutor will offer feedback and advice, point out repeated grammar errors, give you practice to improve your weaknesses, and explain teacher comments and assignments
