The Human Resource Development
Orientation Handbook and Research Guide

Our tutors can assist you through all stages of the writing process with any type of writing
task. Whether you are concerned with organization, development, formatting, documentation style
or other conventions, we can help. Our tutors, however, will not edit or revise your documents;
you are ultimately responsible for your own writing.

What We Offer:
• One-on-one tutorials
• Small group sessions
• Group workshops (including for the EPE)
• Short in-class visits
• Writing and grammar resources

We Help Students:
• Understand writing assignments
• Overcome writing challenges
• Develop and research essay topics
• Document research in MLA and APA styles
• Become more confident and effective writers

Tutoring Sessions:
Tutoring sessions are by appointment and last up to 50 minutes. Please, come prepared and expect
to work during your session. Tutoring sessions will only be as successful as the amount of work
you put into them.
