The Tutoring and Academic Support Center (TASC) is a university-wide tutoring center for learning assistance and academic support with an emphasis on peer instruction in business, math, science, public speaking, critical thinking, reading, writing and academic study skills. There are several types of support available: appointment tutoring (50 minute sessions), drop-in tutoring to answer quick questions (20 minute sessions), group workshops to cover certain topics and academic skills, weekly group study sessions by course, and weekly writing groups. Reading/writing/academic study skills tutors can work with students on any assignment and at any stage of the process; subject tutors can assist students in courses they have completed and have understanding of general content.
Writing Tutoring
Yes, writing tutors can assist with the organization, structure, and style of a thesis. You'll be the subject-matter expert, and you'll work with your tutor to develop a writing and revision process that works for you. Tutors may not edit or proofread for you, but they can work with you to find patterns and develop strategies to polish your writing.
No, any edits a tutor makes to a student's paper is considered plagiarism. Instead, tutors provide a holistic approach to editing, focusing on teaching students the skills necessary to identify mistakes in their own writing and how to make corrections.
We are happy to work with students on their resumes and cover letters, but we defer to the experts in Career Services and Leadership Development, who offer workshops and individual appointments with students and have several online resources as well.
