Writing tutors are committed to helping students become more proficient writers. They provide support to students enrolled in a variety of courses at UNM. Writing tutors help others in different stages of undergraduate writing, including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, organizing, and revising. Writing tutors provide helpful feedback and guidance on writing, mechanics, grammar, and style, but do not edit or write for others. Writing tutors may occasionally assist with developing and facilitating writing workshops or writing events. As a member of the CTL team, student staff attend weekly or biweekly training focused on writing-specific content and tutoring practices, which are designed to make student staff effective facilitators of student learning.
