Important Reminders for Students
You will make the most of your tutoring session if you do the following:
- Prepare specific questions for your tutor.
- Bring your assignment, textbook, directions and syllabus.
- Start the assignment (in other words, try to do it).
- Bring a positive attitude and a willingness to try.
The goal of our tutors is to help you become more independent in your learning. Tutors are not permitted to do any of your work for you, including correcting or "checking" your homework/assignment/paper, proofreading or editing your paper, or teaching you course content because you have been absent from class.
Tutors will do the following for students:
- Review rules, concepts and types of problems
- Ensure that you are following directions correctly
- Find patterns of errors in your paper
- Give you feedback on your paper
- Help you organize your writing
- Help you find your own answers
- Offer study tips
- Offer encouragement
- Direct you to self-help resources
Tutoring Schedule
The Tutoring Schedule is available online and outside Room 166. It is subject to change, so please check back often.
