Becoming a Peer Writing Tutor

May 26th, 2008 by Mary Ellen Bertolini

Students are invited to become Peer Writing Tutors if they have been nominated for the Ward Prize(for writing the best First-Year paper) or if they have been specifically requested by a faculty member to work with a first-year seminar or a college writing course.

New Peer Writing Tutors are paid ($8.70 an hour), and the Writing Program provides them with all the training they need. All new tutors attend an organizational meeting and five training sessions. All experienced tutors attend an organizational meeting and three training sessions.

Peer Writing Tutors

  • provide drop-in tutoring in the Center for Teaching, Learning and Research (room 225) in the New Library.

    As a tutor, you may select the areas (depending on availability) in which you would most like to work: classroom, drop-in library tutoring.
