Initial and Ongoing Training
As a writing tutor, you will be trained in the theory and practice of peer learning, as well as in how to be an effective writing tutor. This training will be a kind of apprenticeship, in which you will, in part, learn from and shadow more experienced writing tutors before you start tutoring yourself. Then, when you feel ready, you will start taking writing consultations yourself.

To be considered as a writing tutor, you should:
- Be a good verbal and written communicator
- Enjoy working with and helping others
- Have a professional and friendly manner
- Have completed English 101 or above
- Be a confident and excellent writer
