<p>To be a tutor at the Writing Center at Richmond, you’re required to take a 300 level class called…Introduction to Composition Theory and Pedagogy. To take the class, you must have the permission of the instructor (and I believe other instructors provide recommendations to students depending upon prior work in other English classes). The class is one semester long, counts towards the English major, and involves shadowing current tutors at the Writing Center.</p>
<p>If you go to the Writing Center’s website here: [University</a> of Richmond Arts & Sciences: Writing Center](<a href=“http://writing.richmond.edu/program/join.html]University”>http://writing.richmond.edu/program/join.html) , you can see more details. They seem to have changed the process since my roommate became a tutor, but you still need to take the 300-level Pedagogy class. It involves an application, permission from the instructor, a writing sample, and a recommendation from a professor.</p>
<p>Edit: Writing tutors are also paid!!</p>
