How much does online tutoring cost?
Our online tutoring service is absolutely free of charge! There is no cost involved.
Who are the tutors? Are they qualified?
Online tutors are Writing Center consultants who are highly trained by the Center for Academic Success and extremely experienced. They are qualified for the job, and they will provide you with the best tutoring experience they can.
Can I work with the same tutor all the time?
Yes, you are allowed to request to work with a specific tutor that you have previously been tutored by. Unfortunately, due to availability and limited tutor schedules, we cannot guarantee that the tutor will have an appointment available.
What happens if my tutor is late?
The first thing to do is to call the Writing Center at (718) 862-7782 to contact the office assistant and let them know of the issue. If available, another tutor will be calling you to begin the session. If there are not any available tutors, the office assistant will help you to reschedule your appointment in the next open time slot.
What courses will be covered by online tutoring?
Online tutoring will cover all courses under Graduate and Undergraduate programs. When students make appointments, they will have to notify the office assistant of their class status.
How early should I make my appointment?
The earlier, the better! Keep in mind that walk-ins are not accepted; please make your appointments in advance.
Is online tutoring better than tutoring at the Writing Center?
It depends on the student’s preference. Some may like face-to-face interaction, and some may prefer distance tutoring. Some like to work with their assignments in a tangible way, and others prefer to work with a digital interface.
How long is a typical online tutoring session?
A typical online tutoring session will last an hour long at most. Appointments can be made for half hour slots as well.
What if I want to reschedule my appointment?
Make sure that you call the Writing Center at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment to cancel it. You will then be able to reschedule your appointment for the next available slot. If you fail to cancel your online appointment, it will count as a no-show.
