Writing Tutoring Faculty Resources
Writing Tutoring offers by appointment and drop-in tutoring, live remote tutoring and tutoring via email for students in all classes, including those outside of English. Tutors typically assist students with the following writing tasks:
- Breaking down complex writing assignments
- Brainstorming and narrowing topic and thesis
- Planning, gathering, and organizing ideas
- Conducting viable research
- Drafting and revision
- Learning to proofread for specific problem areas
- Properly citing research
Writing Tutoring is perfect for 鈥減oint-of-need鈥 consultations as students work through the writing process. Tutors can and do, however, also work with students on an ongoing basis.
Writing tutors are undergraduate Kent State Stark students who have completed a 3-credit, upper-division course in tutoring writers. Each tutor is mentored and peer-certified before working with students. Coming from a range of majors, the tutors function as 鈥渒nowledgeable peers鈥 to less experienced student writers and as collaborative learners to more advanced writers.
