Pardee School Tutoring Program
The Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies has partnered with the College of Arts and Sciences Writing Program to provide students with the opportunity to meet for a tutoring session with a Simpson Undergraduate Writing Fellow. Our Writing Fellows provide writing support for assignments in all International Relations courses and are available to any student enrolled in those courses—not just Pardee School majors and minors.
We encourage students to share the assignment prompt with their Writing Fellow during their appointment. This helps Fellows understand the assignment requirements and provide guidance that is tailored to the course and the student’s writing goals.
