Your
Homework
You need to have attempted your homework assignment before coming
to tutoring. Make a note of the concepts with which you are
struggling. You and your tutor can then review these concepts
and work through similar problems. The tutor cannot, however,
help you do your homework. |
|
|
Rescue
You
Nothing takes the place of consistent hard work throughout the
semester. If you fail to do this, showing up for tutoring a
week before final exams will not help. Tutors cannot help you
recover from a semester of slacking off. You should come to
tutoring at the first sign of problems. Waiting will only get
you further behind. |
| |
|
Take
Responsibility for Your Leaning
Tutors can help you learn, but they are not responsible for
your learning. You will have to attend class regularly, participate
in class, do your homework assignments, read your textbook and
develop a relationship with your instructor. |

Have
All the Answers to Every Question
Tutors are knowledgeable in the subject that they tutor, but
they cannot be expected to know everything. However, you CAN
expect them to model the steps successful students would use
to find solutions. |
