Online Tutoring

Our Online Tutorial Service extends our individualized tutorial services to Texas State Students who wish to receive individualized instruction, but via the Internet. It is the online equivalent of the normal one-to-one tutoring we offer in the Writing Center.

What is it?

Our online service provides an online alternative to meeting in the Writing Center in person. This service allows a tutor and student to communicate and work together in real-time while meeting in an online environment.

Just as in regular Writing Center appointments, the tutor can help with any stage of the writing process--from brainstorming to various drafts to polishing the final draft.

During the online tutorial, students engage in dialogue about their writing with a trained Writing Center counselor, simulating a face-to-face tutorial. Both parties are able to see the student’s work on screen and can speak to each other via chat and/or microphone.

Note: This is not an editing service; the Writing Center's goal is to encourage students to become confident self-editors so that they can assess and revise their work independently.

Also, please be aware that online tutors are not computer tutors. While they may be able to help you with some computer issues, they are not trained to help clients use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Publisher, Excel, or other software programs.
