Job Title: Writing Tutor
Department: Admin Learning Lab
Employment type: part-time (wage)
Work schedule: 29 hours or less per week, variable schedule
Purpose: Writing Center tutors collaborate with students to develop their writing across disciplines, as well as their skills in other subjects in the humanities taught at Piedmont Virginia Community College. Other subjects are based on the tutor’s academic background and comfort level. Writing tutors are also embedded in composition courses to foster student success and build connections with the Writing Center.
Duties and Responsibilities: Tutors work with students to develop their thinking, writing, and reading skills and may also work with students in foreign languages, humanities, and social sciences. Rather than teaching students, tutors collaborate with and model the thinking and processes (such as using course resources, working with others, asking questions, navigating the library, etc.) that can support success in their classes. Tutors work with students one-on-one, in small groups or whole class activities; they document their work and participate in robust professional development (both online and in person), which strengthens their ability to give and receive feedback and to communicate effectively. Tutors also create resources to promote and support student writing at PVCC.
