Tutoring Sessions

  • During in-person tutoring, you meet with a tutor in Sterne Library. You can bring a print copy of your paper for your tutor to mark on OR plan to open the paper on your laptop/tablet. You may also upload your paper before your session so your tutor has it ready to open.
  • For online tutoring, you meet with a tutor via our scheduling system's built-in online consultation platform. During your session, you can also upload your paper or other documents to the shared document so that you and your tutor can collaboratively make edits, revisions, and comments as you meet.
  • For the upload your work and get feedback option, you upload a paper and assignment sheet before 9:00 AM on your chosen day. A tutor will write comments on your paper during their shift that day. You do not need to be present. Your tutor will upload their feedback onto our website by 9:00 PM that day, you will receive an email with your paper attached. You can log in to our online system to download your paper with comments. Please note that you must have a draft to use this option.
  • We offer 25-minute and 50-minute tutoring sessions. Students may have two sessions per week. Students are limited to 50 minutes (two short sessions or one long one) during the last three weeks of classes and at other busy times.
  • Your appointment will be canceled if you arrive more than 10 minutes late. Students who miss two sessions are prevented from making future appointments until they meet with the UWC Director. To avoid this, just cancel your appointment at least 30 minutes in advance.
