On-line or E-tutoring: What's the Difference?

  • On-line tutoring (synchronous) sessions allow you to chat with a writing partner, brainstorm ideas, or get immediate feedback. Make an appointment; then look for a Zoom link that your writing partner will email to your SCU email 5-10 minutes before your appointment time. This is most like a face-to-face HUB meeting!
  • E-tutoring (asynchronous) sessions allow you to share a Google doc to get feedback asynchronously. You’ll need to specify what main feedback you want, and if you add comments and questions into your Google doc, your writing partner will be better able to help you. Note: e-tutoring will have a slower turn around (several hours), and the writing partner will not edit or simply proofread your work – so please plan ahead. Writing partners will offer suggestions for how you can develop your writing on your own.
