History Writing Tutor

For Fall 2023, a history writing tutor is available by appointment for history students - either via Zoom or in-person. The tutor can work with students on a variety of different questions or issues relating to writing and research, including: formulating a thesis statement, structuring an argument, analysis of primary and secondary sources, sentence structure and clarity of expression. They can work with you on a variety of different assignments, e.g., weekly responses, essays, and research papers.

You do not need a finished writing assignment when making an appointment. However, please be sure to share your writing (either as a completed paper, a draft, or an outline) by the evening prior to your appointment date.

Please email Madeleijn at mvandennieuwenhuizen@gradcenter.cuny.edu to schedule your appointment in advance. Keep in mind that last-minute requests may not be possible. Your email should have the subject line, “Writing Assistance at Hunter.” Please include your full name in your message and attach the course syllabus, the assignment instruction, and your writing sample. Together with Madeleijn, you will schedule an appointment, either via Zoom or in-person at Hunter College.
