The GSD’s Writing Services provides free one-on-one peer tutoring, workshops, handouts, tutorials, and other resources for strengthening skills related to academic and career documents. GSD students can receive support with any stage of the writing process, from understanding writing assignments to revising a final draft. The website also has resources for developing more efficient time management, planning, and reading strategies.
Tutors coach writers by asking questions, identifying problem areas, and sharing techniques for building skills. Tutors can assist in understanding the assignment and pre-writing; in developing structure and tone; and in reviewing partially completed and completed drafts. Please note that copy-editing services and line-by-line proofreading are not provided.
Our tutors can also help you with the clarity and effectiveness of your writing in career documents, whether they be feedback on internship/job/fellowship applications, and/or grant proposals.
