Peer Writing Tutors
All writing tutors have taken (or are taking) a course in peer tutoring with Professor Susan Dearing. As generalist readers, these students provide careful feedback at any stage in a writer's process, teach proofreading strategies, and engage their peers in active learning. They tutor in the Kollett Center from 6-9 Sunday through Thursday evenings and sometimes later into the night.
