Writing Tutors help students from across the campus achieve their academic writing goals. Writing Tutors spend 6-8 hours per week meeting with the Writing Desk team, developing resources for writing, and staffing the Writing Desk. Tutors help students with written assignments at any stage of the process, from understanding the assignment and planning an approach, through organizing and drafting, to preparing the works cited page and making final edits. This position is ideal for students who are careful, thoughtful readers, empathetic listeners, and reflective writers.

Applications are due in January; new tutors will participate in weekly paid training in the spring semester and begin tutoring the following fall. For more information, or to ask for an invitation to apply when applications reopen, please contact Bridget Draxler at draxler@stolaf.edu.

Writing Tutors Embedded Writing fellows

Conversation Partners work with students who are in the process of developing fluency in college-level, academic English. Tutors spend 2-4 hours per week meeting with the CAAS team and working one-on-one with students. The position involves a good deal of conversational interaction, some teaching/explaining of English language and culture, and some coaching of students as they adjust to the patterns of interaction (social and academic) that are common on this campus. Tutors must be open-minded and welcoming toward cultural and linguistic differences. The position is ideal for students who are interested in language education and cross-cultural interaction.
