Writing tutorials are offered by graduate student tutors. The tutors will look at your writing with you and make suggestions on how to improve your papers. Our tutors will give advice on issues related to overall structure, clarity in meaning, links between ideas, etc.

Please note that the tutor will not correct or revise the text that you have written. Rather, they want you to become independent authors who have the ability to write in an academic style that is clear, simple and concise.

If you have any concerns about a report or paper, do not hesitate to come for a tutorial.
This service is available free of charge to all members of Hiroshima University, irrespective of status or affiliation.

NOTE: Tutors will make suggestions and give advice on your paper, they will not proofread or copy-edit your writing.

If you choose an online writing tutorial, before starting the consultation, please start up your computer and make sure that Zoom can be used. The writing center will send you the URL for the Zoom conference from the WRC system inquiry page at the time the consultation starts. The URL will be sent to your registered e-mail address and to the WRC system inquiry screen, so please click on the URL.

A tutor is a graduate student affiliated with the Writing Center who supports members of the university in improving their writing. It is not the tutors’ responsibility to correct people’s writing; they are trained to help writers organize their thoughts, draw out their ideas, and nurture their writing ability.

A tutor is required to maintain confidentiality of those they support and will not disclose any information gained during the consultations.
