Paper Critiques and Private Conferences
Are you looking for help with your child’s writing but not an entire online class? Perhaps you’ve designed your own English curriculum but feel less confident evaluating your child’s writing. Perhaps your child is already enrolled in a great course that requires papers but doesn’t include writing instruction. Whatever your situation, if you want professional feedback on individual writing assignments, Bandusia Tutorials’ paper critiques and private conferences can fill your needs.
To see examples of papers with feedback, check out the Expository Writing page.
Current Student Discount: If a student currently enrolled in a Bandusia Tutorials class would like help with a writing assignment for a different class (a history class or a science class, for example), that student will receive a 10% discount on paper critiques and conference packages.
Note: Bandusia Tutorials students never need to buy separate critique or conference packages for the papers they write for Bandusia Tutorials classes. Detailed feedback on each paper is included with every course.

Turn-Around Time for Editing
The turn-around time for editing is one week from the date you submit a writing assignment.
A faster turn-around may be possible if you need your paper returned sooner. For a forty-eight-hour turn-around, a $20 rush fee applies. For a twenty-four-hour turn-around, a $40 rush fee applies. Please check with the tutor to make sure she will be able to give feedback within your desired time frame before you place your order.
Cancelled and Rescheduled Conferences
For Private Conference Package 1, you will receive a full refund if you cancel a conference at any point before the meeting time. There are no refunds for no-shows, however.
For Private Conference Package 2 or 3, you may reschedule any conference as long as you notify the tutor before the meeting time. There will be no rescheduling for no-shows, however.
If the tutor needs to reschedule a meeting, you will receive a 25% refund if she notifies you before the day of the meeting or a full refund if she notifies you the day of the meeting. In either case, you will also receive a full refund if you choose not to reschedule. For the purposes of rescheduling initiated by the tutor, the price of each meeting with Private Conference Package 2 is $19.50; the price of each meeting with Private Conference Package 3 is $18.75.
