Main Campus - Baytown, TX | Division:

Part-Time Writing Center Tutor position focused on guiding student writers to improve their writing through strategy, feedback, and guidance on assignment instructions, writing processes, and grammar conventions. The tutor helps develop the writer rather than producing a single final piece.

• Writing tutors share knowledge of writing strategies with student writers, provide a reader's response to drafts, and coach on assignment instructions, writing strategies, and grammar conventions; the goal is to help produce a better writer, not just one piece of writing.
• Tutors are not required to have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter of students  writing projects; their responsibility is the quality of the writing itself. Tutors cannot be held responsible for the quality of the final product submitted to the instructor.

Perform other duties as assigned.

• Successful completion (B or better) in ENGL 1301 and ENGL 1302 (or their equivalent)
• Demonstrated understanding of and ability to produce academic papers
• Excellent writing and communication skills
• Ability to listen to students' needs and requests
• In-depth knowledge of grammatical conventions
• Knowledge of Microsoft Word and basic computer usage
• Ability to work cooperatively with a diverse student population
