Tutoring Services

The International Student Center offers both writing tutors for graduate and undergraduate international students and skill-based tutoring for undergraduate international students.

Writing Tutors

All writing tutors are trained by the Stony Brook Writing Center and can support both undergraduate and graduate writers. Writing tutors can help with:

Writing clarity
Essay structure
Content problems

Priority is given to scheduled appointments. Walk-ins are welcome if appointments are not booked for the day. All appointments are 45 minutes long and will be held in the International Student Center. Please bring your laptop and relevant course materials with you.

Appointments will begin in September.

Skills-Based Tutors

Skill-based tutors at ISC can help you navigate academic challenges in the new educational environment. The tutors are trained by ASTC and ISC to guide and support you with:

Academic support: time management, study skills, evidence-based learning strategies, and goal-setting.
Finding and using campus resources
Understanding your syllabus and the US education system

Skill-based Tutors are not able to help with writing and course assignments. For writing help, please make an appointment with a writing tutor.

Skills-Based Tutoring at ISC is appointment-only. Walk-ins are not accepted. All appointments will be held in the International Student Center.
