Student Resources

The Writing Center is available free to EOU students from every discipline and every course level. We offer writing support for all on-campus, online, or on-site students.

Becoming an EOU Writing Tutor

EOU Writing Center writing tutors are peer tutors, meaning they are current EOU students. All writing tutors must first take WR 220, Methods of Tutoring, and pass the class with a B or better. Hiring decisions are then based on EOU Writing Center staffing needs. If you have already taken WR 220 and would like to become a writing tutor at EOU, please email the EOU Writing Center Director at srysdam@eou.edu. If you are interested in becoming a writing tutor, your first step is to take WR 220. Please reach out to the Writing Center with any questions!
