Do you enjoy writing? Are you interested in helping people? Join our vibrant intellectual community! Writing Resources Center (WRC) tutors work one-on-one with writers from across the university. They support writing growth by offering individualized feedback based on a writer’s strengths, goals, and interests. 

All tutors at the WRC—both novice and experienced—must complete WRDS 4402/ENGL 4400/5400: Theory & Practice of Tutoring Writing (same course meeting). In this course, students read and write about writing center scholarship, discuss tutoring practices, and conduct writing center research. Students in the course will also tutor for three hours a week in the WRC as part of the course practicum. This course is offered in the Fall semester each year on Tuesdays/Thursdays from 2:30-3:45.

After successful completion of the course, and with the permission of the director, students can go on to become a paid tutor within the WRC in Spring 2025. We currently pay $12/hr. Continued employment in the WRC requires ongoing professional development via staff meetings.
