I can't get an appointment with the Writing Skills Tutor. How else can I get writing help?
Answer
Email Tutoring
In addition to our in-person and online appointments, we also offer writing help via email which might work better with your schedule. Check the Writing Skills Tutoring website for instructions on how to submit your work.
Note: you are responsible for allowing enough time before your due date for tutors to read and comment on your submission. Turnaround times will vary according to tutor availability and demand.
Arrange a Special Time
If none of our available appointment times work for you, alternate arrangements may be possible. Email the Academic Writing Tutor at jennifer.stange@rdpolytech.ca to discuss other options.
