How to get the most out of Tutoring

How should I use Tutoring?

  • Use tutoring to discuss course materials, ask questions, and work practice problems
  • Go to class!  Tutoring is not a substitute for lecture, recitation, or office hours
  • Tutoring isn’t a chance to have another student explain the content
  • Don’t procrastinate! Sessions right before a test are less helpful and may not be available

When should I use tutoring?

  • Use tutoring often - to keep the information fresh
  • Don’t wait until you're in trouble!
  • To review for a major assignment, and to improve understanding course materials
  • Early - don't wait until the last minute

What should I bring to Tutoring?

  • Class notes, lecture notes, and textbook
  • Practice problems or tests distributed by instructors
  • Anything from class that you have questions about

What should I expect from Tutoring

  • Tutoring supplements the work required by your class
  • The tutor will ask questions, rather than give solutions
