Tutoring and coaching sessions at the Lehman Tutoring Center are up to 50 minutes in duration, and start on the hour (so a session commencing at 2:00 PM would end at 2:50 PM).  Your writing tutor needs those ten minutes before the next hour to complete session notes and get ready for the next session.

Please reach out via email to issp.program@lehman.cuny.edu, including your EMPLID and the date and time you attended writing tutoring, as well as your instructor’s name and email address.  We will notify your instructor that you met with a writing tutor.

YES!  Advance appointments are available, and recommended.  By scheduling your tutoring session in advance, you’ll ensure you can meet with a tutor without having to wait.   Note that you have the option to schedule one-time or weekly appointments in advance.   If you schedule a weekly appointment, you’ll meet with the same tutor at the same time every week.  

Visit the Lehman Tutoring Center virtual front desk during our business hours.  You can also complete our Appointment Request Form. 

Please complete our appointment request form. You will receive an email once you have been assigned a tutor, confirming the date and time of your first meeting.  Subsequent sessions will take place at the same time on the same day of the week.

We think so.  It’s ideal to get started on writing assignments well before the due date.  You and your tutor can figure out what to tackle during your session, whether it’s planning ahead for an upcoming deadline, reviewing assignment guidelines, or reading a potential source for a research paper.  The routine of weekly tutoring sessions can help you manage your workload, so you’re not completing assignments at the last minute.  

We believe in the power of positive relationships.  If, after a couple of meetings, you don’t feel you and the tutor are a good fit, please let us know. We’ll see if we can set you up to meet with someone else.

Because tutors are in high demand for weekly appointments, we only allow students a limited number of cancellations per semester. If you know you can’t commit to a weekly appointment, one-time appointments or drop-in sessions may be a better option for you. You can also try asynchronous tutoring with an email-based tutor.

All workshops take place via Zoom, and require registration in advance.  Check out our Workshops webpage for sign-up links.

Please reach out via email to issp.program@lehman.cuny.edu, indicating the workshop title and the date you attended, as well as your instructor’s name and email address.  We will notify your instructor that you attended the workshop.
