YOUR PROFILE

You must be either a native speaker of English, a true bilingual, or have a particular flair for the English language. A good working knowledge of German would be a further asset. Ideally, you will hold a bachelor’s degree and will have begun or be pursuing your master’s. We expect a sound knowledge of academic writing and the English language (C2), good interpersonal skills, and a genuine willingness to help your fellow students. If appointed, you will undergo peer tutor training and receive certification on completion.
The HSG Writing Lab is responsible for developing academic writing skills at the University of St.Gallen. It supports students at all levels of study and works closely with HSG faculty and programme directors.
Writing matters, whether at university or in academic and professional life. The HSG Writing Lab helps students to build and strengthen their writing skills and writing confidence.
Writing is a process and skill that can be learned and continuously improved. Our mission therefore is to provide tailored academic writing support based on writing research and pedagogy.
We are looking forward to your online-application.
