  What Can I Expect?

• Students can expect individual help with writing problems, grammar, mechanics, and organization, as well as brainstorming and assistance with any stage of the writing process across disciplines.
• Students can also receive assistance with formatting and citing references in MLA, AMA, Chicago, ASA, and APA, reading strategies, and help with online research and general study skills.
• Tutoring sessions are 30 minutes or less, and students may return after revision for a second tutoring session.

Tutors are generally COC (or former COC) students who have excelled in a particular subject and have been recommended by faculty. These tutors have also undergone extensive training, and several of them hold bachelor's or master's degrees in the subjects they teach.
