Tutors

All Tutoring sessions take place in the QR Center, Allen Hall 111.

Tutoring Schedule

Students work on a laptop in the QR Center.

Tutors expect that you will

  • Come prepared with all necessary materials (i.e. class notes, assignment guidelines, textbooks, laptop, calculator, etc.)
  • Be an active participant in the tutoring session
  • Be as specific as possible about what you are hoping to achieve in the tutoring session. Ask questions and listen to suggestions
  • Attempt your homework on your own before bringing it to a tutor to help; a tutor cannot do your work for you. They are also not a substitute for attending class
  • Be patient and considerate of each other’s needs and work as you will most likely be working with a tutor who is tutoring other students at the same time.
  • We cannot guarantee one-on-one time with any tutor, but can guarantee that tutors will do their best to help you
  • Help us maintain a positive learning environment by keeping distractions like noise, cell phones and food to a minimum

  • Set clear expectations about the session and encourage you to be an independent learner

  • Provide useful comments and suggestions to help foster independent learning
  • Not predict what your grade will be on your assignments and cannot speak for your instructor
  • Please ask your instructor for any clarification on an assignment or a grade
  • We are here to support you in your educational endeavors in any way possible
