Need help with your writing assignments?
If you have questions about grammar, style, organization, or just have general questions about writing, then choose Writing (All Subjects) under the Connect with an e-structor now! icon. This option can also support you with pre-writing activities such as brainstorming, outlining, or thesis development.
If you've a completed draft of your paper ready to submit for review, submit it to the SMARTHINKING Essay Center by selecting the Essay Center choice under Submit your Writing. A professional writing tutor will give you the help that you need to improve your paper and your overall writing skills.
Need help with Math, Science, or Business Courses?
Connect with a live tutor by choosing the subject area in which you need help under the Connect with an e-structor now! icon. Then use the whiteboard to start a chat session with a professional tutor and type your question. After you have typed your question or problem, click the Enter Question button. You may have to wait a few minutes to get connected but once you do, you'll have the tutor's full and undivided attention! You can also load graphics and PDFs into the whiteboard so if the problem that you need help with includes a drawing or graphic, choose the "Share Document" icon in the whiteboard. Using that tool, you can upload screenshots, pictures, or PDF copies of your textbook, making it easier for you and the tutor to communicate.
