Tutoring

There are a variety of resources for you to obtain assistance for classes that you may need additional help in. Instructors are the best resource when you are experiencing academic difficulties. Course tutors are often available through the instructor. Attending office hours and meeting with Teacher Assistance (TAs) can be helpful as well. Tutoring is an additional option.

You must first seek help from the professor and/or TA of the course.

Below are additional FREE tutoring resources.

    Writing Assistance

    The Cornell Writing Centers can support students on any kind of writing project at any stage of the drafting process. Tutors (typically trained undergraduate students) serve as responsive listeners and readers who can address questions about the writing process or about particular pieces of writing. They can also help with questions of confidence, critical reading, analytic thought, and imagination. All writing tutors have experience and training in working with multilingual speakers writing in English.
