When does tutoring
start?
The Writing Centers will begin to enroll students
for tutoring during the third week of the semester.
Students must go to the Writing Center of their
choice to sign up for tutoring; we do not enroll students over the phone or through email.

Is tutoring free?
Yes.

Do I need to do
anything to get a student signed up for tutoring?
Not specifically. Students will need to provide your name,
and the number and section of your class. There
are no forms for you to fill out. However, there is a section on the student enrollment forms for the instructor to note specific skills the student needs to work on in tutoring. While it is not required that this section be filled out, it is strongly encouraged.

Can I require that
certain students be tutored?
No. However, you may strongly encourage them.
Tell them that even strong writers usually find
that participating in tutoring helps their work.

Can I send
a student from a course other than a Writing Program
course?
The Livingston Writing Center's primary mandate is to assist students in Writing Program classes. Due to limited resources, we can not guarantee that students from non-Writing Program courses will be able to sign up for tutoring. Enrollment of students in non-Writing Program courses is at the discretion of the Writing Center Coordinator, and we will decide on these students on a case-by-case basis.

Can students just
drop in for tutoring on a single assignment?
No. The Writing Center offers
developmental assistance in writing and reading,
rather than editing advice for single assignments.
Students must sign up for a series of five sessions
with a tutor, and they will be expected not to
miss their sessions. You can read more about
our scheduling policy here.

If I have a
student in tutoring, is it possible for me to
communicate with his/her tutor?
Yes. You will be notified when
one of your students signs up for tutoring.
After the third tutoring session, you will receive
an update from the Writing Center, and are welcome
to communicate with the tutor regarding the
student’s progress.
Contact our Desk Manager at (732)-445-4048 if you require
more information.
