I’m glad you asked this question because I have not been able to work this news into my posts on Fluther yet.
Yesterday, I was officially selected to be one of the newest tutors in the Writing Center of our university :) I’ll be drawing up my contract Monday and attending a full-day training session on Tuesday. I’m so excited! This is my first job ever and I hope I don’t screw things up. I’ll be working with both individual students and groups.
In order to work my job, you need to have: a fairly strong grasp of grammar, be a competent writer, know how to teach (because being a good student is not the same as being a good teacher), and one of the stressed issues was being able to work with ESL students in remedial English. I meet the criteria. I feel as though I have preparing for this position for a long time as I often lend out my editing / teaching services to friends who cover a wide spectrum of learners.
I would say I am above intermediate, but not an expert (maybe a 7.) There is still a lot about grammar I don’t know yet and I cannot fathom what kinds of questions I will typically be asked yet. I have an idea based on what I have been asked on my own, but I expect I will get asked questions I have never thought about before.
