Getting the Most from Tutoring
Welcome! Now that you have made an appointment to meet with a student tutor, here are some tips to help you get the best possible results from your tutoring session:
- Prepare for your tutoring session. Know what you want to cover. Bring pertinent texts, notes, assignments and--most of all--your questions. The more specific your purpose, the more on target a tutor can be.
- Be on time. A tutor will wait for 15 minutes. After that, the appointment is cancelled.
- If you are unable to keep an appointment, please call x3395 and let us know whether you will be late or wish cancel altogether. Sometimes another student is waiting.
- Do not expect a tutor to do your assigned work. A tutor can increase your understanding and support your problem solving efforts, but a tutor cannot do tasks for you.
- If you are not satisfied with your tutor, please let us know. You may inform Sherry Lindsey, the Center's secretary, or Aileen Kane, the student tutor supervisor. Just as a certain professor is not right for everyone, a certain tutor may not be right for you. Don't just give up. We have alternatives.
Our tutors are eager to conference with you. Let's work together to optimize your learning experience at UPS. |
