how to use your tutor

The tutor is not doing your assignments for you but only helping you to complete your work. Be honest with your tutor; ask him/her for assistance because you don't understand the problem, and not because you just don't feel like completing it.

It is important that you prepare for each session by completing all of the work that your tutor has assigned to you.

Keep a list of the problems you had difficulty completing, and any questions that may have arisen when you were doing the assignment. Make a list of questions that may have arisen while you were in class or while doing your homework for school. By doing this you will know exactly what to ask your tutor during the session.

Tutoring will only be effective if you do the work that is required both during and outside of tutoring sessions.

Bring all necessary supplies to your session such as your school notebook, textbooks, notes from past tutoring sessions, work assigned to you by your tutor, pens, pencils, extra paper, and any other supplies that you may need.
