Resources for Tutoring Writers

As writing tutors, we can't be expected to know everything about writing (nobody does!).  What we can do, though, is learn with students + point them to useful resources.  

While these resources can be useful during tutoring sessions, they can also be useful after tutoring sessions -- they can function as “deliverables” that students can take with them + study on their own.



Wikipedia 
  • Remember Alan Liu's advice: Wikipedia can be an excellent "pre-search" tool that can help us get a feel for breadth, first, before we dive down further for the depth that's required of many research-based writing assignments.


  • Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL) has plenty of useful information, especially up-to-date suggestions for your citation practices.
