Professional Writing Tutors
Assist undergraduate and graduate Suffolk students who need writing/English language support in one-on-one appointments. Tutors may also lead English language workshops and participate in drop-in writing tutoring as needed.

- Perform various academic support tasks during open appointment blocks, based on skills and interests, as assigned by CLAS management.
- Attend training on topics related to assisting college students with writing or English language, and meet with program supervisors to discuss other issues.
- Write notes for all student sessions in the appointment tracking system (EAB Navigate).
Requirements/Qualifications
- Master’s Degree or higher in English, Composition/Rhetoric, or a related field.
