Student Summer Academic Success Center — WRITING TUTOR

Job Description

SUMMER TRAINING FOR CURRENT WRITING TUTORS. NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW. JUST WRITE N/A. Help students from across the campus achieve their academic writing goals. Writing Tutors spend 7-8 hours per week meeting with the Writing Desk team, developing resources for writing, and staffing the Writing Desk. Tutors help students with written assignments at any stage of the process, from understanding the assignment and planning an approach, through organizing and drafting, to preparing the works cited page and making final edits. Support is process-oriented, rather than product-oriented, with the focus on the writer before the writing. This position is ideal for students who are careful, thoughtful readers, empathetic listeners, and reflective writers.
