Writing Support for Graduate Students

Last week we blogged about writing resources for undergraduate students. This week, we want to tell you about our collaboration with NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. College of Nursing MS, DNP, and PhD students now have access to free tutoring to improve writing skills!

Even graduate students need help with writing papers.  The craft of writing does not come easy to everyone, so whether you've been out of school for a while, or have always struggled with putting your thoughts down on paper - this free service will help you. Individual tutoring sessions are matched to your availability including evening and weekend hours.

To set up an appointment call: 212.992.9055.  Identify yourself as a graduate nursing student, provide your name, student ID number and your availability.  Evening and weekend hours are an option. At this point only appointments made by phone will be taken.

Location: McGhee Tutoring Services 7E 12^th Street, 6^th Floor

Things to keep in mind:

• Tutors are not editors, proofreaders, graders, etc. They will provide feedback on your writing style, and in cases where grammar or sentence structure need to be addressed, they will work with you on those rules.

• Schedule appointments ahead of time so you can make any necessary changes to your work and turn assignments in on time.

• If you're working on a draft, bring two copies. One for you, one for the tutor.

• Come prepared with questions, information about a particular assignment, copies of a paper with teacher comments, any related notes or research. 

• Students are allowed a maximum of 5 hours of tutoring per semester. 

• Open to graduate students only.

If you have any specific questions about writing skills tutoring please email Mcghee.tutoring@nyu.edu. Additional information is also available on the Academic Advising Tutoring Program Website. Be sure to review the tab for graduate students!
