Part-Time Writing Center Tutor

Provost/Academic & Student Affairs Essential Duties & Responsibilities Writing tutors are students or professional teachers whose goal is to share their knowledge of writing strategies with student writers. The tutor offers a reader's response to a given piece of writing and can coach the student regarding assignment instructions, writing strategies, and grammar conventions. A tutor's goal should be to help produce a better writer instead of just one piece of writing. Tutors are not required to have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter of students' writing projects; their concern is with the writing itself. Moreover, tutors cannot be held responsible for the quality of the final product the student submits to the instructor. Additional Duties & Responsibilities Perform other duties as assigned.
