Location

ONLINE ONLY. For synchronous appointments (using video chat and Google Docs), use Bengal Success Portal to schedule. For asynchronous feedback, email us your paper, assignment instructions or prompt, and your specific questions.

Requests for asynchronous feedback made Monday through Thursday will receive a response within 48 hours.  

We accommodate walk-ins when possible, but we strongly encourage students to make an appointment; this is the only way to guarantee that you'll be seen by a tutor on a particular day or time.
