FAQ

You will work with tutors from all disciplines; peer tutors with strong academic skills from upper-year, and our senior tutors, consultants and specialists with graduate degrees and teaching experience.

No. Our services are completely confidential. We will not discuss your work with anyone without your permission. If your instructor offers bonus marks for visiting The Write Place, put this information in the assignment details area when you are booking your online appointment, and we will inform them of your attendance.

We do not proofread. Your tutor will ask you questions about what you want to say in your paper, and give feedback about clarity and organization.  But we can teach YOU how to proofread your own work.  We will focus on one or two writing issues in each session.

Not at all. You can upload your rough notes, mind-maps, drafts, or whatever you’re working on, and we’ll help you, wherever you are in the writing process. Do upload your assignment question or topic.

Normally, we work with students in all formats, including digital and hard copies. If you would like to work on a hardcopy, please bring a printout with you. We are also happy to work with you on your laptop, or your tablet.

If your instructor permits it, and if all members of the group are present, we will gladly discuss your group project with you. We cannot discuss a group assignment with a single member of the group.

Definitely!  Many students find that working on a written assignment with the help of multiple tutors helps them improve organization, persuasiveness, and clarity.

Your instructor decides your grade! We work with you on improving your overall writing skills and treat each appointment as a step in the learning process.
