Tutors in the writing center work collaboratively with students one-on-one or in small groups on all types of writing projects, including academic papers, argument essays, creative writing, and multimodal projects.
Tutors need to be strong writers and communicators and must be able to guide students in improving their writing and communication skills. Applicants must have a strong understanding of the composing process and need to be good listeners who can understand and effectively address students’ needs. Tutors work with students to not only improve the assignment at hand, but to also help their tutees grow as writers in the world. Tutors also contribute to the writing center by planning events, leading professional development workshops, and developing resources for our students.
We invite both undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines to apply. |

- have completed College Composition I and II (or equivalent) by the end of Spring 2017
- hold an A- average in these courses
- be available to complete 10 hours of paid training before the start of the Fall semester with additional paid professional development workshops held on Fridays during the semester.
If you are interested in the position, please email a cover letter stating your interest in tutoring at the writing center, a resume, a writing sample, and contact info for at least two references who know you and your writing to Celeste Del Russo at delrusso@rowan.edu by April 21.
Mission Statement
“The goal of each tutoring session is learning, not a perfect paper.” -Jeff Brooks
The Rowan Writing Center’s mission is to create a university community of strong, confident writers and communicators. Our goal is to develop the writer, not just the writing. We offer an inclusive, accessible, and supportive environment where Rowan Writing Center tutors provide opportunities that enable student writers to discover and develop effective writing and composing practices. We offer a space where writers of many genres can find support at any stage of the writing process. From brainstorming ideas, organizing them, revising drafts and checking citations, the RWC and its tutors provide a comfortable environment for students to improve and succeed.
We are a multiliteracy resource center that invites students to work collaboratively on all types of writing projects, including academic papers, argument essays, creative writing, and multimodal projects with trained peer tutors. We integrate writing, speaking, digital media and other modes of communication in order to serve diverse students and their needs across disciplines, languages, and learning differences. In addition to print-based essays, students in a multiliteracy center are often found collaborating with tutors on slide presentations, videos, social media, graphic design, performance, public speaking, and more.

One-on-One Sessions
In a world of one-size-fits-all and impersonal classes, our one-on-one sessions provide refreshingly personal attention. During your half-hour or hour appointment, your tutor will work with you to help you find answers, overcome obstacles, and reach your writing and academic goals. Tutoring appointments can be made for any written assignment in any discipline -- even projects not associated with a class. From lab reports and research papers to argumentative essays and personal statements, WC tutors are highly adaptable and can offer assistance for diverse writing situations. Best of all, each appointment is a collaboration between you and your tutor, ensuring that you will leave not just with a clearer direction for your assignment, but with a clearer vision to achieve your writing goals.
