A Typical Tutoring Session

Tutors work with tutees to provide the following:

• Clarification on concepts
• Review homework and class notes
• Discuss class content
• Ask questions
• Share study strategies and resources
• Exam preparation

Tutors are hired and trained by the office of Learning Resources. Effective tutors are welcomed and encouraged to return as tutors for additional semesters. Effective tutoring: 

• Is a collaboration between the tutor and the tutee (student) where the tutee can build and develop their skills and knowledge of a particular course.
• Allows the tutee to become an engaged and self-disciplined learner.
• Is to be as comfortable as possible for students who come for assistance. The atmosphere is to be friendly, interesting, and understanding of the anxiety many students experience about a course as well as asking for help.
