Student Athletics Tutor

Tutor

Spring 2017

• As a tutor at the RWC, I was given the opportunity to work exclusively with student athletes on a weekly basis, ensuring that deadlines were met, students stayed on top of assignments, students were understanding assignment expectations, that they engaged thoughtfully with their writing assignments, and that they were reflective during and after their writing process

• We worked primarily on understanding what would be expected based on the assignment, discussed how to achieve that, outlined and brainstormed ideas, conducted research together and discussed how it would aid the paper/assignment, worked on composing work and revising once completed, and dealt with multi-modal composition.

• Sessions were led by the student, with the tutor aiming to facilitate their journey toward discovering themselves as a writer, and encouraging them to find what works best. Guidance was offered when requested, but the burden of developing ideas lay solely with the student, with the tutor helping to ensure that it met with the goals and requirements of the assignments.

The FSU Reading/Writing Center
Tutor
Spring 2016-present

• As a tutor in the RWC, it is my responsibility to aid students with writing and reading comprehension during our sessions. Students come in during any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to revising, and we assess the needs of the student and help guide them through their writing process. The RWC’s primary goal is helping emerging writers find their voice and feel comfortable when writing.

• We primarily act as a sounding board for new ideas, and as a guide to help them stay on task. We also have a great deal of students who come in for help with grammar, so we help them identify areas of grammatical weakness within their papers and explain why it is incorrect and offer suggestions to change the issue as well as tools to better identify the issues on their own in the future.

• There are also a great number of ELL/ESL students who come in for help, and we try to give them tools to feel more comfortable and confident when writing in the future. We also try to give them devices to help them identify recurring issues that we see in their writing and address them on their own.
