Become a Writing Tutor
The Writing Center is looking for excellent students with a strong background in writing and an interest in helping other students.
To become a writing tutor, it is recommended that students take English 402: Internship in Tutoring Writing, which is held each fall semester. Students in English 402 will learn about techniques and theories involved in tutoring writing, approaching writing as a process, evaluating and responding to drafts, and working with a diversity of writers. Starting the fourth week of the semester until the last week of class, students will also tutor in the Writing Center for four hours a week as part of the course. After completing English 402, students are eligible to apply for a part-time paid position as a writing tutor.
Information about openings for Writing Center tutors will be shared on this page and to all registered users on our scheduling site. .
If you have questions about the course or tutoring writing, please contact Emma Catherine Perry by email (emmaperry@uidaho.edu), or swing by the Writing Center on the second floor of the UI Library.
