Beren Campus Tutors and Director

Tutors

When tutors are hired in the Writing Center, they begin a training process that involves familiarizing themselves with the Tutor Responsibilities. New tutors then observe tutoring sessions between clients and senior tutors, reflecting on their experiences with fellow staff members. The Eisenberg Writing Center conducts monthly staff development meetings to continually foster dialogue amongst tutors to share their successes and struggles in an ongoing process of learning. If you are interested in applying to be a tutor at the Writing Center, please review our tutor application.

Writing Center tutors are available to help you generate writing ideas, refine your rough drafts, or simply have a conversation about writing. Writing Center tutors not only support fellow student writers, but they are also prolific writers themselves.

What will tutors do for you?

• Our tutors will help you with any type of writing assignment at any point in the writing process. We can offer you support in generating and clarifying your ideas, developing arguments, locating evidence, consolidating conclusions, and developing a cohesive structure.
• Tutors will enable you to hone and develop your own thinking and writing skills.
• Tutors will help you feel more comfortable with the writing process.
