Do you believe every writer deserves a reader? Do you have excellent written and ORAL communication skills? Do you enjoy helping others?
Our peer tutors are Siena students. These SAINTS are future teachers and lawyers, accountants and scientists. They have a variety of interests, but they are united in their desire to help others.
APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE Peer tutors are kind and empathetic, and they have excellent written and oral communication skills. If you are interested in the tutor training program, please contact our director, Dr. Lorelei Wagner, at lwagner@siena.edu for an application.
NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE We review applications throughout October and notify students if they have been accepted before registration in November.
WRITING 240: PEER TUTORING IN WRITING If you are accepted to the tutor training program, you'll join a small group of students who have been exclusively invited to take Writing 240: Peer Tutoring in Writing. This three-credit training course is only offered in the spring. If you earn a B+ or above and are in very good academic standing, you'll start tutoring the following fall.
A PAID POSITION. Tutors are paid, and work study funding is not required. Most tutors work with us sophomore, junior, and senior year, and some stay with us through their time in our Siena graduate programs.
