Academic Fellows
Academic Fellows are Barnard students who provide academic assistance and support for particular courses to groups of 2-3 students throughout the semester. Students requesting academic assistance complete a request form along with the other required forms (available in the Tutee Packet) submit them to the Dean of Studies Office and are billed for the semester on a sliding scale. Assignments are made after the second full week of the semester, in order to give students time to assess their needs in a particular course. Students who wish to be Academic Fellows apply through the Dean of Studies Office during the program filing period. Fellows are paid $15.00 per hour of assistance. Academic Fellows and their study groups meet together for a two-hour session each week. Members of the study group are expected to come to the sessions prepared with specific questions about the course.

Writing Fellows
Writing Fellows are Barnard students who have been specially selected and trained to assist their peers with the writing process. They are available in the Writing Rooms, located in 316M and 319M Barnard Hall. Appointments can be made on the Writing Fellows website. You don't have to have a full draft of a paper to make an appointment. If you bring notes, an outline, or an opening paragraph, a Writing Fellow can help you figure out how to move your ideas to the next level. In addition, Writing Fellows are attached to particular writing- intensive courses in a variety of departments. If you take such a course, you will be required to submit your paper to the Writing Fellow and have a conference with her before you submit your final draft to the instructor. NB: Writing Fellows are not copy editors! They will not proofread or spell-check your papers. Fellows are trained to help you clarify your ideas and arguments, to improve the style and structure of your writing, not its mechanics.
