If you’d like to review your work with a tutor, you will need to be able to upload your work to Google DriveÌýso that you and your tutor can view and comment on the draft at the same time. You will also have the option of communicating with your tutor through a voice or video call via Zoom, or through the chat window within Google Docs.

You can make two kinds of appointments:Ìýsynchronous appointment (real-time)Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌýasynchronous appointment (not real-time). Make sure when you book an appointment that you select the type of appointment that best suits your needs.

Synchronous Appointments

  • Synchronous sessions are real-time appointments where you meet with your tutor atÌýthe specific time of your appointment. You can work with your tutor over Zoom or using only the chat feature on Google Docs if you would prefer not to use video/audio.
  • To schedule a synchronous appointment, log into our and click on an open appointment (white box) to make an appointment with a tutor. Tutors with "(SYNCHRONOUS)" next to their names are available for synchronous tutoring.
  • You will meet your tutorÌýin Google Docs and Zoom and work on your paper at the same time. This experience is similar in some ways to an in-person tutoring session as you will be interacting live with your tutor.
  • At the end of your session, complete your next steps plan with your tutor.

Asynchronous Appointments

  • Asynchronous sessions are not conducted in real-time, and you will only communicate with your tutor over email or in the comment feature of Google Docs.
  • Because tutors have 24 hours to return feedback, do not select an asynchronous appointment if your paper is due within 24 hours of your appointment time.
  • To schedule an asynchronous appointment, log into our and click on an open spot (white box) to make an appointment with a tutor. Tutors with "(ASYNCHRONOUS)" next to their names are available for asynchronous tutoring.
  • In an asynchronous appointment, you will upload your paper share it with your tutor. You must post your work and share it to your tutor by the time your appointment starts, and you should include questions for your tutor.
  • Within 24 hours of the start of your appointment time, your tutor will provide feedback to you on Google Docs/Google Drive and will email you to let you know that you have feedback. If your tutor was not able to get through the entire paper within the allotted time, you will need to make another appointment.

Hello! My name is Jill Kneeland, and I have been teaching English literacy for over ten years. I received her B.A. in English from the University of Tampa and my M.A. in Comparative Literature from Goldsmiths University of London. Born and raised in Rome, Italy, much of my teaching has been at international schools, including in the UK, Turkey, and Panama. I am currently a third year Ph.D. student in Literacy Studies with the School of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder.ÌýAs a teacher, I hope for my students to feel empowered by their communicative abilities in reading, writing, and speaking. I see literacy as an incredibly powerful tool that can be harnessed to expand one's understanding of this world and their position inÌýit.ÌýOverall, I hope to encourage my students to find the voice within and guide them to feeling confident in their literacy abilities.
