Tutoring tips and resources

 

Important things to do before your tutoring session

  • Connect with Tutor Mentor via chat in Penji. Tell them the goals you hope to get out of your tutoring session.
  • If you cannot attend your scheduled session, let your Tutor Mentor know at least 24 hours in advance.
  • At the end of your session, complete a Tutor Session Evaluation in Penji. 

 

Tips to make the most out of your tutoring sessions

  • Come prepared. This means you should attend class, take notes, read the textbook, attempt the homework and come with questions. 
  • Tutors guide your learning. They work with you, not for you. They help you think through concepts, share study strategies and develop skills.
  • Tutor Mentors are students just like you. Tutor-Mentors provide academic support, but they do not guarantee grades or evaluate your work. You still need to put the effort in before, during and after tutoring sessions for success.
