  • Use our discussion board on Microsoft Teams to post questions, share short writing samples, or get feedback outside of regular tutoring hours.

Step 4: Post Your Question

  • You can also upload a short paragraph, sentence, or voice recording for feedback.

Things to Know

  • Tutors support both in-person and online students. If they’re with another student when you post, they’ll respond as soon as they are free.
  • If your post comes in after a tutor’s shift ends, the next tutor on duty will follow up.
  • Start a new post for every question so nothing gets lost in long threads.
  • Your posts are visible to other students in the channel. This helps everyone learn from common questions and answers.
  • If you’d rather ask something privately, you can always email langsctr@uccs.edu or request a one-on-one appointment.
