What to expect at your appointment

Together, you and the tutor discuss the reason for your visit and determine the most crucial writing task to be addressed. The tutor usually focuses on one or two specific aspects of the project that you feel need the most attention. You can make follow-up appointments if you have additional concerns that could not be addressed in your initial appointment.

Often, the tutor or you will read aloud sections of the paper that you'd like feedback on. The tutor will point out areas of concern and give suggestions for improving your writing. Throughout the session, you will be expected to be actively engaged, making the crucial revision decisions. Your writing improves as you develop skills and build on your writing strengths, focusing on one aspect of your writing at a time.
