Welcome to Bunker Hill Community College's Writing Place!
You can create an appointment to meet with the tutor in-person or online and upload your writing and assignment to the appointment.
You will be given a default option of a 30-minute appointment, but you can select up to a 60-minute appointment as long as the tutor is available.
If your tutor is available for in-person and online tutoring, the default option selected is in-person. You must select the online appointment if you wish to meet your tutor online.
In-Person Appointments:
Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your in-person appointment in N311 on the Charlestown campus, outside from the library and across from the Reading Room. You can check out our new space in this video link.
Logging into Online Appointments:
For an online tutoring appointment: When you are ready to check in for your tutoring session, please do the following:
1) Use Google Chrome as your browser for optimal use of our system;
2) Login to our system 5 minutes before your appointment; and
3) Select your appointment- it should be a yellow block on the schedule. In the "Meet Tutor Online?" box, you will find the link to your appointment that reads: "START OR JOIN ONLINE CONSULTATION." Your virtual room will launch where you will meet with your tutor. Please enable your web cam and microphone, if you have these features available, so you can speak to and see your tutor. Your tutor will assist you with any questions you may have. Please be sure your appointment time is not when you have another commitment, such as class, during that time. These tutoring sessions are interactive and conversational; therefore, tutors require your undivided attention. Please select an environment with low to no distractions, so you can get the most out of your session.
No Show Policy
Please be aware that if 2 of your appointments result in a no-show, your account will be deactivated. You will need to contact the Writing Place Coordinator, Professor Jennifer Cohn at JCohn@bhcc.edu to be reinstated.
Cancellation Policy
In an effort to increase accountability for appointments, please be aware that if you have 5 cancellations within an hour of your scheduled session, your account will be deactivated. You will need to contact the Writing Place Coordinator, Professor Jennifer Cohn at JCohn@bhcc.edu to be reinstated.
If you have any questions or concerns about these options or registering on our web site, please contact Writing Place Coordinator, Professor Jennifer Cohn at Jcohn@bhcc.edu.
We look forward to working with you!
