Making the most of your tutoring session
Please read through the suggestions below to help you make the most of your tutoring session, whether drop-in or appointment:
Tutors are not allowed to do your work for you. But they CAN help you understand and apply the material so you can learn how to do the work yourself. For example, English tutors are not allowed to proofread your papers for you, but they CAN show you how to proofread.
See your instructor when you need help that the tutor isn’t able to provide.
When meeting with a tutor, you should:
- Be ready with specific questions about the material being covered in the session.
Keep the following in mind:
- Your tutor will:
- Help you make sense of what you don’t understand.
- Show you how to find the right answer.
- Review homework you’ve completed.
- Help you learn to read your textbook for understanding.
- Your tutor will not:
- Teach the material or act as your instructor.
- Give you answers or solutions to questions and problems.
- Do your homework for you.
- Explain passages from a textbook you haven’t read.
All tutors are peer tutors; they are students, just like you.
- Do as much of the reading and the homework as possible.
- Come prepared with questions.
- If you have not had time to read and try the homework, bring your text and the assignment to the tutoring session. Bring class notes as well.
With the tutor, set a goal for the tutoring session. Sample goals might be:
- Review the assignment
- Make sure you know how to break down problems
- Start the homework (on your own) so you can ask the tutor specific questions and complete the homework on your own
- Review for a quiz or test
- Look over a quiz or test you have had returned to you
- Better understand a difficult reading passage
- Discuss ideas for an essay
Work towards accomplishing the goal you and the tutor have set for the session and give yourself a few minutes at the end of the session so you can:
- review what you accomplished
- make plans for the next session
- what you might do to prepare for your next session
If you have questions about any of the information above, please come talk with any of our staff. We are here to help!
