UIC Writing Center

The UIC Writing Center is currently hiring tutors for the Spring 2024 semester.
We invite upper-classmen from all divisions and majors to apply!

Tutors are UIC upper-classmen who display exceptional writing skills and are passionate about helping other students with their writing. Students wishing to work as tutors at the Writing Center may apply to become a peer tutor or be nominated as a peer tutor by a UIC instructor. All candidates must submit an application (see below) and sit through an interview with Professor Seunghei Clara Hong, the Director of the Writing Center.

Tutors are required to: (a) work during the entire semester; (b) hold tutoring sessions for a given number of hours per week (usually 3-4 hours); (c) attend a pre-semester training workshop; (d) hold regular meetings with the Director to report and address students’ progress and needs; and (e) provide services and manage resources. Tutors will be awarded a UIC scholarship for the semester.

To apply, send (a) a letter of application (about your writing/ tutoring experiences, approach to writing, and/or anything else you think is relevant in 300 words); (b) a current CV (with your date of birth, student ID number, major, and GPA); and (c) an academic writing sample (edited to no more than 1,300 words) from a UIC course (preferably a UIC Seminar) to uicwritingcenter@yonsei.ac.kr. Please title your email as “2024-1 Tutor Application” and save your attachments as “Name-Letter,” “Name-CV,” and “Name-Sample.”
