Preparation For Tutoring Sessions
This page provides information on what students need to do in order to prepare for a tutoring session.
It is important to be prepared for your tutoring session, whether it be walk-in or scheduled. Tutors can most effectively help students when they know what is needed, so please be prepared.
Before Tutoring
- Review the materials you have so you know what you understand and what is giving you trouble.
- Write down any questions or concerns you have that you want the tutor to help with.
- Make sure you have all the materials you need (syllabus, textbook, notes, etc.).
During Tutoring
- Let the tutor know what you want to work on.
- Ask questions about anything confusing. (If tutors could read minds, they’d make a lot more money.)
- Take notes that you can look at later for studying or practice.
After Tutoring
- Review what you learned.
- Keep practicing!
- Make a follow up appointment to review or go over new content.
