Schedule a Live Work-Session with Prof MJ
Tailored Sessions
to Meet You
Where You're At
Why?
Because no one program can meet all of a student's academic writing needs, I am delighted to also offer individual live tutoring work sessions so I can better meet students wherever they are at.
So no matter where you are on the spectrum of skill level or in the writing process for a specific assignment or writing project, a one-on-one virtual tutoring session will help get you closer to where you want to be.
Length
A session can run from 30 to 60 minutes. Keep in mind that shorter focused sessions are sometimes the most helpful for better learning and to reduce the chance of feeling overwhelmed.
Virtual Meeting Mode
Zoom, GoogleMeet, or Skype

How to Start Working
with Prof MJ?
Email me, MJ Stafford, by clicking on the button at the bottom of this section.
In your email, briefly explain what you would like help with and anything else you would like to share that might help me to prepare.
Also, for best use of our time, focusing on one main element works best (i.e. thesis writing, topic brainstorm, subject-verb agreement, using quotation marks, etc.). Just something to keep in mind when you are thinking about what you would like help with first.
