Using a Peer Writing Tutor or FYS Mentor

Sessions work best

• When the tutor has a clear idea of the professor’s writing expectations for students,
• When students in the class see the sessions with the tutor as an important part of the writing process for all students in the class, and
• When the professor emphasizes the importance of those sessions by making them mandatory.

Best Practices

• Meet with your peer writing tutor early in the semester or before the beginning of the semester.
• Give a copy of your class syllabus to your peer writing tutor.
