eTutoring Quick Guide

eTutoring

This asynchronous, email-based session is best for later stages in the writing process questions about topics such as: formatting, in text citations/references, punctuation, word choice/phrasing, sentence structure, etc.

  1. Sign in to our appointment system. Choose a Consultant who is available for eTutoring, and select an empty (white) time block when you would like your appointment to be. Keep in mind that you do not need to be "present" for an eTutoring Appointment. You will receive feedback from the Consultant at the end of the session time.
     
  1. Set the end time of the appointment for 1 hour after the start time. While the system defaults to a 30 minute block, all eTutoring sessions must be 1 hour.
