Advance appointments are available, on a one-time or weekly basis. Visit us in Old Gym 205, drop by online, or use our Appointment Request Form to set up an advance appointment with a writing tutor.
Note that this same form is used to request appointments in advance with an Academic Coach or a Subject Tutor at the Lehman Tutoring Center, so be sure to indicate you’re requesting a Writing Tutor specifically. After submitting your appointment request, you can generally expect to receive an email confirming your appointment within 1-2 business days.
We recommend weekly writing tutor appointments if you feel you would benefit from sustained writing support. With weekly appointments, your writing tutor will get to know you and your course(s) better, so you’ll be able to work together more efficiently. Don’t worry if you feel you might not have a paper to work on every week, as you can work with your writing tutor on writing assignments for ANY of your courses. Even if you don’t have a draft to look at together, you can have a fruitful session. Indeed, one of the best times to meet with a writing tutor is when you don’t have a pressing deadline, so you can plan ahead.
If you tend to procrastinate, weekly appointments could be an excellent choice for you. Many students find that meeting with the same writing tutor on a weekly basis provides a structure for getting assignments done on time. You’ll find it easier to stay on track, as you can discuss upcoming deadlines with your tutor, break larger tasks into more manageable segments, and tackle them one by one. Mountains are climbed one step at a time, and your weekly writing tutor—your “writing buddy”—can help you surmount the multiple writing challenges you’ll encounter across the semester.
