What is our philosophy of tutoring writing online?
We have two goals in our writing tutoring: first, tutors take on the role of informed peer readers to let student writers know how their papers come across to other students; second, tutors use students' papers and questions as opportunities to suggest improvements in writing process and writing practice.
The role tutors do not take on is copy editor; we will not fix students' papers for them.
Get Online Writing Help
If you are a Douglas College student, our online tutoring service provides you with feedback on your writing. We provide our tutoring through email. Our tutors are students at BC universities and colleges; they are experienced academic writers who have firsthand knowledge and experience of what college instructors expect from written assignments. We train our tutors to guide you, the student writer, with advice about how to revise your papers to better meet instructor expectations.
We offer two ways to get online writing help from peer tutors.
