CWL Peer Tutor applications are now closed for Academic Year 2026 - 2027.
If you are interested in applying next year, and would like to be notified when the applications open, please fill out this brief form.
We actively seek a diverse team of students to work in the CWL because we believe that it broadens perspectives on how to define good writing and effective learning, creates a community where more students feel represented, comfortable, and safe, and reflects the kind of campus we aspire to be.
Working at the CWL provides a powerful opportunity to connect with students from across campus, and make a meaningful difference in their time here at Puget Sound. Tutors not only provide useful feedback and guidance; they also help students feel a part of the academic and student community here on campus. AND tutoring is fantastic professional training: you think on your feet, learn to communicate with a variety of types of learners and people, and deepen your knowledge of your subject matter at the same time.
Essential Job Functions and Responsibilities:
- Work one-to-one with students who come to the CWL.
- Act as a liaison to faculty and First Year Core or subject area courses.
- Collaborate with other peer tutors and CWL staff to develop and offer CWL programming.
- Participate in ongoing training and professional development, including CWL orientation at the start of the fall semester, ongoing readings and activities, and biweekly CWL staff meetings.
- Other duties as needed.
