No previous experience is required to become a Writing Center tutor. However, all undergraduate tutors must have passed the following classes with a B or better: Beginning College Writing (English 101); Upper Division Writing Requirement (e.g. English 301); and Structure of Modern English (English 303). Tutors must also enroll in English 402 (Theories of Responding to Written Composition) concurrent with their first semester of tutoring.

Applicants must submit the following to the English Department office by 1 p.m. on the last Friday of April: a completed application form, two letters of recommendation, and a recently submitted and graded academic essay.

• What will be my hours and compensation?
Undergraduate students have a great amount of flexibility in their scheduling. The starting rate of pay is $8.11 per hour, and they may be scheduled between 5 and 20 hours per week, depending on need and budgetary restraints.

Graduate students are hired on a contractual basis, and are paid a monthly stipend that approximates $11.07 per hour. Contract may be arranged in 5, 10, 15, and 20-hour increments.

Another option for both graduate and undergraduate students is to be paid in course credit. Tutors receive one unit of credit for each three hours worked per week. Students who wish to receive credit must enroll in English 496 (Student-to-Student Tutorial).
