Obeying the conventions of Standard Written English shows you to be a careful, learned author, but writing is much more than mere adherence to convention. Tutors discuss grammar only when it affects meaning. These are not remedial courses. Students whose grammatical and mechanical skills are not at grade level should not apply. See our eligibility page .
Tutors never grade individual exercises and final writing assignments.
Instead, your tutor writes comments that you use to build a final writing assignment. Each lesson's final writing assignment gets a lengthy comment. At the tutorial's end, you receive a Certificate of Participation and a detailed, one-page descriptive evaluation of your work and progress, written to you in a formal tone. Topics are content-centered and are specific enough that educators will be able to recognize the high level of work assigned and to measure your achievement by their own standards.
