Policies
There will be a sign-in tutoring log sheet in the tutoring rooms and ALL students that are being tutored are REQUIRED to sign-in, listing the course they are receiving tutoring in and the name of their instructor. Course instructors will be notified when students are being tutored. All information is confidential.
Any student seeking tutoring should understand and follow these client responsibilities.
Client Responsibilities
- ATTEND CLASS. Your instructor is your primary source of information and assistance. Your tutor can help you review and work through trouble spots but cannot serve as a substitute teacher. Always inform your instructor that you will be seeking tutoring. There may be some tips and specific instructions the instructor can share with the tutor to make your tutoring experience a successful one.
- Do your homework and read your assignments before coming to the tutoring session. Your tutor will help you with homework and concepts that you do not understand. Have specific questions and / or problems prepared for your tutor. The tutor is there to assist. They will not do your homework for you.
- Bring materials to the tutoring session: your textbook, class notes, old quizzes, and old tests.
- Communicate with your tutor so he/she is informed. Inform the Peer Tutor Coordinator if any concerns arise related to the tutoring sessions.
- Your progress is important to the tutor and your instructor. Your instructor will be kept informed of your progress during the tutoring sessions through the use of a Peer Tutoring Notification Form. This information is confidential and will be shared only with your instructor.
