What happens during a writing tutorial?
Since tutorials are student led, you bring what you want to work on, whether it is an upcoming essay, a literature review, or a chapter of your dissertation. Your tutor will help you develop your ideas, create a thesis, clarify your argument, examine your evidence, and offer help with grammar and sentence structure. If you don’t have a paper, you might brainstorm ideas for an upcoming assignment, talk about using secondary sources, or focus on particular grammar issues common to your essays. Some tutees want to focus on reading strategies and how to conquer heavy reading loads.
