Become a Tutor

WRT 353, "Issues and Methods in Writing Consultancy," is a 3-credit tutor training course open to students in any major at URI. This course introduces students to the practice and theory of one-to-one writing instruction and emphasizes varied writing situations and multiple learning styles. It covers approaches to collaboration, learning, writing, responding to writing, and strategies for making appropriate writing choices. WRT 353 is offered in both the fall and spring. Students who successfully complete the course are eligible to apply to become tutors in one of four locations: in the Writing Center, as a Discipline-Specific Writing Consultant, at the Providence Campus, and at URI Academy at Central Falls High School.
