All students must be assigned to tutoring by a counselor or
instructor based upon an identified learning need. Once assigned for tutoring, you must come to sign up for
tutoring services. We will automatically enroll you in the zero unit tutoring
course, Learning Services 110 (LS 110). There is no charge.
You must be enrolled in the class for which you receive
tutoring. If you drop the class, please
notify your tutor or the Tutorial Office at 741-2038.
We will assist you in improving your skills so that you can become
independent of tutorial assistance. Our goal for you is to become
independent of the need for tutoring support.
You must attend all of your classes. A tutor will not read the
textbook for you, nor do your homework for you. Remember that your instructor
is the final authority, and that the tutors are not instructors.
Tutorial Services is not a crisis service.The sooner you come into Tutorial, the better your results
will be. You must try hard and spend enough time here to get the
benefits.
For best results, use tutoring consistently, rather than at the last
minute to catch up and "cram" for an exam or quiz or for last minute
help on an assignment. Tutorial is not a quick fix for missing classes and
for doing homework.
If you are lucky enough to have an individual appointment you
must be on time! If you arrive more that 15 minutes late, that can count as a
"NO-SHOW" (un-excused absence). Call at least one day ahead, if you
canŐt make your appointment. Two no-shows and you are out!
Group study is an excellent way to improve comprehension
of the class materials, to test out your knowledge and to collaborate with
classmates who can also be a resource for you. When in group tutoring, you should try to be tolerant of
others' needs and recognize that other students have their own issues and
concerns.Be flexible. If you
have a complaint, please speak to Martin or to Jeff.
Please come prepared for your tutoring session. Adequate
preparation includes regular class attendance and bringing your textbook (along
with handouts and questions) to the tutoring session.
Tutorial Services is still free of charge, but our resources are
strained due to constant budget cuts. Please use this resource
wisely. Individual tutoring will only be offered in special situations.
Group and drop-in tutoring will be the norm.
Tutorial Services can assist you with many resources and options,
both public and private. See Martin and Jeff for details.
