Additional responsibilities include recording tutoring data, completing required training, and assisting with help desk duties as needed.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Strong writing skills demonstrated through coursework, professional experience, or tutoring experience.
• Completion of college-level writing courses (ENG 101 & ENG 102 or equivalent preferred).
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree (or currently pursuing one).
• Minimum 3.0 GPA (if currently enrolled in college).
• Two professional recommendations (one from an English faculty member preferred).
 

Additional Skills Requested:

• Patient, kind, and dependable, with a passion for helping others succeed.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to explain and reinforce writing concepts clearly.
• Effective organization and time management skills.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Word, Outlook, Teams, and Blackboard (or willingness to learn).
• Professional demeanor when working with students, faculty, and staff.
