MLA Reference
http://www.nwmissouri.edu/library/CITING/MLA.HTM
This site provides helpful color coded examples of MLA citation. It also provides tabs you may click to Reference MLA style in an eassy, in text citations, and even how to use MLA with Government documents!
Grammar Reference
http://www.sparknotes.com/writing/style/
This site I found to be incredibly helpful due to its large A-Z archive of helpful grammar examples. This site is also fairly well known by students and is easy for them to use at home after you’ve shown it to them.
Help with Writing papers
Writing Help
http://essayinfo.com/
This is a great site because it can help you convey how to write different types of essays to the student. Often students don’t come to college with the knowledge of the different between a response paper and an argumentative one. This site tells you how to brainstorm and how to execute the writing process for each essay type. I liked that it didn’t provide any sample essays, because that may often lead to plagiarism. (watch out for any ads that sell pre-written essays on this site)!
Plagiarism
http://www.plagiarism.org/index.html
Although you may never use this site in a tutoring session (unless you're trying to discourage a student from plagiarizing), this site may be helpful for you, the tutor, to explore yourself. It provides information from the rules of plagiarism to even why many students plagiarize. I thought it was pretty handy.
Best Over All
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
This is the best over-all site. Almost everything listed above can be found here. However the draw back is that the site is HUGE! If you're going to use the Owl at Purdue site, please be sure to navigate the site on your own first. That way you'll save time trying to find anything during your session.
