    2. On Ground Drop-in Tutoring

    Drop in hours:

    Monday through Thursday 10-5

     

    3. E-mail tutoring:

     

    Students may send a question or an essay/paper to our e-mail at WCEmailEssay@gmail.com.

     

    Comments offer general feedback on issues you might want to address through your own revision and editing processes. Please send your essay in a format that can be edited, such as an MS Word doc or a Google doc that anyone can access. Limit your email tutoring request to ONE essay per email. 

    When sending a paper/essay, please provide the following required information:

    • Your name and your student ID number
    • The name of the course and the professor's name
    • The type of assignment (examples: narrative essay, research paper, critique etc)
    • Any directions from the instructor about the requirements of the assignment (examples: 5 pages, MLA citation, use classical argument etc)
    • What concerns you might have or your questions about the paper
    • If you would prefer written or audio/video comments on your paper

    A tutor will provide brief comments and guiding questions on the essays in order to help students better understand their own grammatical needs and to pinpoint the areas within the writing that may need clarification. Please allow 24-48 hours to get a response from the email tutor Monday through Friday (we do not answer emails Saturday and Sunday).
