Writing Center Peer Tutor

This course equips student writers to become peer tutors. The beginning of the course covers writing center theory and basic tutoring approaches. After a training period, tutors spend the rest of the course tutoring, working on individual projects to enhance the Writing Center, and developing their own writing. Tutors also have opportunities to present at writing center conferences, work with teachers in the classroom, and submit their writing to writing center publications. Tutors will develop interpersonal skills, improve their writing skills, gain leadership experience, and have opportunities to become part of the writing center community. Interested students will need to submit an application (with English teacher approval) to the Writing Center director.
