If your feedback says "You need to proof read your paper to ensure you do not miss typos and grammatical errors".

You tutor is probably trying to help you to be more accurate in your writing. Accuracy in writing can be improved in two ways; 

1) Knowing the correct way to structure your sentences using punctuation and grammar.

2) Proof reading to avoid mistakes.


Answer

Improving the accuracy of your writing may begin with understanding how to structure a sentence. 

See the Proof Reading Grammar Toolkit for help with:

  1. Sentence structure - sentence structure toolkit.  
  2. Sentence punctuation - for help with basic punctuation such as commas and full stops
