Here are some tips for negotiating with your school if you want to receive credit or class time for your child's writing tutorial. Keep a portfolio of your Writing Tutorials work including your tutor's critiques. Submit your portfolio for review every quarter or semester. The portfolio should contain copies of each assignment, copies of each completed essay, and copies of each tutor critique. Obtain a reading list from the language arts teacher and agree to complete all required reading.
Most tutors are eager to assist their students with obtaining proper credit and or placement.
Before making this arrangement, you should make a request in writing to the Writing Tutorials coordinators. Let your school officials know that you can request a grade for Writing Tutorials course work. All requests must be made in writing and mailed to Susie Maynard, WritingTutorials Registration Coordinator. Contact one of the coordinators. Johns Hopkins University.
