Writing Tutor--A Great Campus Job

Why work as a writing tutor?
Tutoring at the Writing Center offers many benefits.  Here are just a few:
Customize your schedule: with the Writing Center's wide variety of hours and flexible scheduling, you can fit work hours around class and other commitments.  At the beginning of the semester, set a weekly schedule that works for you. 

The Writing Center has hours available in the day & evening (Mon.--Thurs. 8 am to 9 pm; Fri. 8 am to 5 pm; Sat. 10am to 3 pm).
Set your work schedule in blocks as small as two hours.  For instance, work from 10 am to 12 pm MWF during your morning break between classes, then return from 4 pm to 6 pm in the afternoons once classes are finished.
Since you don't have to leave campus, it's easy to work between classes.
Maybe you have a lot of time this semester, maybe just a little.  You can work as little as five hours per week all the way up to twenty hours.

Writing tutors start at $9 per hour.
Chances for personal and professional growth: as you tutor students, you cain writing know-how, interpersonal and service experience, training, and leadership opportunities.
Teaching is one of the best ways to learn.  In tutoring students with their writing, you develop insight to impvoe your own written communications skills--organization, clear wording, grammar knowledge, audience awareness, and son on.
Tutoring looks great on a resume.
Tutoring allows you to assist your fellow students.
You don't know how to help a student understand organization?  Don't worry--the Writing Center offers three levels of tutor training through the internationally recognized College Reading and Learning Association.
Through tutoring, training, and practice, develop your interpersonal communication skills, including reading body language, active listening, and others.
Tutoring is a leadership position, but beyond that the Writing Center offers leadership opportunities in the form of workshop directors and project group leaders.
