Tutoring via e-mail

Get help with your writing right at your computer. Send your question about writing--or a whole paper--to  writecen@ferris.edu and a tutor will reply as soon as possible.

E-mail tutoring is first-come, first-served, with Ferris State University students given priority. If you are a Ferris State University student, please indicate this in your subject line.  Please also let us know your name, student number, instructor's name, and course number.

Please also be aware that responses to e-mailed papers typically take several days and we are not open on weekends.  For longer papers, each ten pages will be treated as one paper, so responses to long papers will take at least one or two weeks.  

Note:  We are unable to offer e-mail tutoring the first week of classes or finals week during fall and spring semesters. We are unable to offer e-mail tutoring at all during summer semester; however, if you call us (231-591-2534) we will try to suggest alternative resources.
