How to Make the Most of Your Tutoring Session
We ask for students to be fully engaged in the learning process. Over the course of two consecutive sessions, if a tutee is clearly unprepared, the tutor will speak with a ULC Coordinator. If the tutee continues to come unprepared to sessions, he/she could be removed from tutoring.
The Responsibilities of Students:
- Bring important materials - textbooks, class notes, pencils, calculator, syllabus, copy of assignment, rough draft, ideas
- Bring a flashdrive if you want to use a computer
- Be prepared.Attend all classes, read assigned materials and complete or attempt homework/assignment
- Work out problems before asking for help. If the tutors can see your work, they will be better able to help you find mistakes
- Actively participate
- In the labs, to get the attention of the tutors, raise your hand
- For SI supported classes, attend SI Sessions regularly, not just before exams and quizzes
- Don't wait until the last minute to get help!
- Prior to your visit, think about what you want out of your tutoring session, and tell the tutor what you want to work on
Tutors will:
- Work with you to help you grasp the concepts
- Take the time to explore your concerns about the assignment
- Help you with test preparation and study skills
- Ask you lots of questions
- Make suggestions, not lecture or grade you
- In SI Sessions, encourage you to work in groups when appropriate
Tutors will NOT:
- Correct your assignment
- Complete the assignment for you
- Help with take home exams or quizzes
-
