Peer means “companion.” 

For university students (including graduate students), “students” are “peers.” 

Here at the Academic Writing Support Desk, peer tutoring support is mainly referred to as the offering of advice and support to students by trained students (in this case, we call them tutors). The content of support concentrates mainly on “how to proceed with learning.”

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Complete the training program provided by AWSD (April to July)

• Conduct 1:1 peer tutoring sessions

• Provide information and feedback to AWSD about the experience of being a peer tutor.

• Research fundamentals of academic writing pedagogy and practice 

 What do I get from being a peer tutor? 

• Recognition 

You will gain distinction in the school from your peers and teachers as an AWSD peer tutor. It’s also a great resume boost and looks good on college applications. 

• Training

All students selected to be tutors will have the unique opportunity to learn about knowledge acquisition—this will benefit your tutoring and prepare you for the demands of college and the workplace. This training program is relevant for students entering a helping profession such as teaching, counseling, or medicine. 

• Improved Academic and Study Skills

As you help others problem-solve and learn, you will see tremendous benefits in your academic work. You can also make an appointment with another tutor when you are “off duty.” 

• 21st Century Skills

Through Peer Tutoring, students become more capable 21st-century learners and actors. For example, more capable critical thinkers, communicators, creators, and collaborators. 

• Improved Interpersonal Skills

As one past student put it, “I have gained social skills I hadn’t even realized I had lacked in the past.” Many of the skills you’ll learn in our tutor-training lessons apply to non-tutoring situations.
