We have no openings for new writing tutors at this time. Sorry!
Undergraduate writing tutors meet one-on-one with Temple students from all different majors and programs, with all different types of writing. A typical day may have you brainstorming about virtue in The Epic of Gilgamesh, jointly crafting a catchy opening for a study abroad essay to Tokyo, or helping streamline a business proposal for a food truck startup.
Writing tutors earn $15/hour and typically work 4-15 hours per week; the hours are flexible and can be scheduled around other obligations.
Who can apply:
All undergraduate students (any major, any department) are eligible to apply. We seek students who are strong academic writers, as evidenced by their writing samples. We particularly welcome applicants who
- Have previous experience tutoring or teaching
- Are active leaders on campus
- Are empathetic listeners
- Enjoy working one-on-one and with a team in a fast-paced environment
How to apply:
Complete the application form and submit the following materials (through the form):
- Cover letter
- Resume
- 3 recent academic writing samples (from Temple coursework only)
We particularly welcome applicants who can support writers in languages other than English and those with academic writing experience in the sciences, but all qualified applicants are encouraged to apply.
