Writing consultants meet individually or in small groups with students to help them with writing from all stages of their writing processes. Writing consultants provide advice and suggestions for a range of writing tasks and concerns, from developing thesis statements to citing and integrating sources. The Writing Center offers a teaching, not a proofreading service. Our goal is to teach writers how to improve rather than to edit for them. See the Center’s website, www.duq.edu/writing-center, for further description of the Center’s services.
The ESL (English as a Second Language) writing consultant is the “go to” consultant for non-native speakers of English, though also works with the full range of students who visit the Writing Center. Experience working with ESL writers is desirable but not required. Tutoring or teaching experience, particularly of writing, is likewise desirable. Training is provided. In addition to an orientation, one hour every other week is spent at professional development meetings that provide ongoing training.
The position currently pays $16/hour and is funded for 15 hours per week.
Applicants must be full-time students in a for-credit degree program and cannot be working another job at Duquesne. Applications are being accepted immediately and will be processed as they are received.
