Peer Tutoring and Writing Fellows

Here's where talented and accomplished GMU undergraduates can explore the chance to tutor at the Writing Center, and receive course credit for doing so.

If you're a strong writer in any major and have good interpersonal skills, you should consider enrolling in CHSS 390: Peer Tutoring in the Disciplines. This one-credit, repeatable course puts you in the Writing Center as a full-fledged tutor and emphasizes learning through doing. We teach you how to tutor writing one-on-one and put what you learn into practice. You'll see how other writers write, and you'll learn how to tutor writers in many different majors and those whose first language is not English.
After completing a semester, many peer tutors are selected to become Writing Fellows.

To explore this opportunity or recommend a student, please contact Dr. Terry Zawacki at 703/993-1187 or e-mail her at tzawacki@gmu.edu. The following links provide more information on Peer Tutoring and Writing Fellows:
