Tutoring
Silliman Resident Writing Tutor: Carol Morse
Greetings! I’m the Writing Tutor at Silliman, and I’m happy to work with you on your writing at any stage of the process. If you want to brainstorm an idea, get constructive feedback on a draft, or focus on a specific writing issue, please feel free to make an appointment online or by email (carol.morse@yale.edu).
You are welcome to bring in your notes or an essay draft on the day of the appointment, or you may email me a draft prior to the appointment (recommended if it’s a longer paper—please email me with adequate time to read, preferably the night before you come in). No draft is too rough. I know that all writers approach their processes differently, and I hope to engage in ways that are productive and useful to you. Typically, appointments are 45 minutes.
Most appointments begin with a brief discussion of your project and the kind of help you are looking for. Depending on your needs, we’ll have an active and collaborative session–so come in with questions, concerns, and ideas. We’ll first focus on higher-order concerns (What’s the assignment asking for? What are you arguing? How’s your organization?) before addressing more local concerns such as mechanics and punctuation.
I’ll be offering hours in-person meetings, with occasional hours online. If you need to meet virtually due to illness or other challenges, please let me know. In addition, if you are differently abled, please let me know what you may need to have an effective session.
My office is on the fourth floor of Silliman, Room 401, near the Silliman Good Life Center. I look forward to working with you. Please email with any questions.
My hours are:
Monday 10-1
Tuesday 2-5
Friday 11-2
