The Writing Center is tutoring exclusively online through the end of the Spring semester.

Writing Center Tutors can support students on brainstorming, drafting, and revising writing assignments for your courses. Online tutoring is text-based, in that students cut-and-paste their work into our online tutoring platform and tutors will “chat” with students in real-time via a textbox.

Below are instructions to share with your students:

Writing Center Tutors are available for online appointments. Here’s how to make and access your online Writing Center appointments this semester:

Visit our website, https://hofstra.edu/writingcenter, and click “Make a Writing Center Appointment” to log-in to our schedule.
Select an available appointment time, indicated by a white box.
At the time of your appointment, log-in to the schedule and click on the appointment window, indicated by a yellow box.
A new window will open. Click the link that reads “Start or Join Online Consultation.”
You will be automatically redirected to a chat room with your tutor and have the ability to paste or import your writing onto a large text window and chat with the tutor in a sidebar. The chat does not use voice or audio; it involves typing.

Please contact writingcenter@hofstra.edu with any questions.
