Tutors support student writing for all subjects and all levels of study offered through La Sierra University. They help peers develop their writing skills, enhance their critical thinking and reading skills, and foster a love for effective communication. Tutors are expected to function independently and responsibly in a minimally-supervised environment, collaborating with instructors and professors to improve student skills. To achieve these ends, tutors must have a solid background in the English language, be strong writers, possess grammar and editing skills, and be willing to seek clarification in unfamiliar fields. Professional communication skills and punctuality are essential. It is helpful if tutors speak more than one language. Tutors will also be trained and gain experience in leading small workshop groups. Previous tutoring experience is not required but is desirable; regardless, all tutors will undergo training before helping students.
