Tutoring and Academic Coaching

Our writing tutor, Stori Long, is available to collaborate and guide you through your writing projects. The goal of writing tutoring is not just to have your papers “edited,” but to equip you with big picture ideas and strategies to help you become a stronger writer. Keep in mind, Stori is not a content expert and content-based tutoring is not available for college of graduate studies students. 

Common areas that writing tutoring can help with include: 

• Finding and maintaining an appropriate tone (i.e., formal versus informal) 
• Creating a cohesive narrative flow for your research papers  
• Sentence structure, syntax, and grammar  
• Active vs. passive voice  
• Research planning  
• APA citation 
• Support for English language learners 

Please fill out the information below to request writing tutoring support. You must submit a new form for each different assignment for which you would like help. 

You will receive a response via email from the writing tutor within two (2) business days. If you have trouble with the form or have not heard back regarding your submitted request, please contact [email protected].

Throughout the chiropractic program there are courses that have open lab tutoring time. Labs are set up as drop-in tutoring sessions that are held at least once per week during the quarter. Open lab times are announced by course faculty and posted within the Student Gateway each term.
