Peer Writing Tutor

The peer writing program commences in Week 3 of semester.

The peer writing program gives you the opportunity to talk to another student about your writing. The peer tutors in the peer writing program are students who are good writers and are available to help you with the more straightforward questions that you may have about your writing.

The peer writing program is a drop-in service so it is not necessary to make an appointment. The peer writing tutors are available at set times throughout the week; please refer to the timetable below. The sorts of questions that you might ask a peer writing tutor about include:

• Citing and referencing
• Grammar
• Whether the essay flows or makes sense
• Whether your introduction and conclusion are clear

Please note that the peer tutor will not help you with content and will not tell you if you are correct or not. They will not re-write any of your work for you or substantially alter your writing.

Timetable - Semester Two 2009

Appointments are not necessary, however in busy periods there will be a system to reduce queues and waiting times.

All Peer Writing Tutor sessions will be conducted in tutorial rooms located on the Upper Ground (UG) floor of the ICT building. If you are unfamiliar with the ICT building, please refer to the map of UG rooms.
