Writing Tutoring Services

The Holomua Center offers Writing tutoring services for students in PCC 20, English 21V, and English 22. If you are taking PCC 20, English 21V or English 22, you are encouraged to see a tutor after you have a typed draft of your paper for the tutor to look at.

The writing tutor may:

• ask questions that can help you add more supporting details and information to your paper
• point out places in your paper that may need more work
• ask questions to help you develop your thesis
• help you see whether your organization makes sense
• identify basic grammatical errors that can make your paper confusing to your reader and help you think of ways to fix them.

The writing tutor is not supposed to fix grammatical mistakes or edit your paper. You, not the tutor, should be writing on your paper at your tutoring session. Remember, your goal for your tutoring session is to improve your writing skill and develop better writing habits, not to have a tutor fix your mistakes.
