What can a Tutor Do For You?
What can a Tutor Do For You?
Tutors CAN:
Review and explain assignments, outlines, and course objectives.
Clarify and help students understand concepts presented by the instructor.
Help you understand the textbook and how to use it.
Help you develop learning skills and strategies.
Tutors CANNOT:
Complete your assignments (required paperwork, clinical papers, etc.) for you.
Teach to the test.
Teach material you have not read or heard in class.
To Prepare For Your Tutoring Session You Should:
Attend all classes and read all assigned material.
Take notes on problem areas and list questions you may have.
Send tutor the questions you have at least several days before the scheduled tutoring session.
Bring your textbook, notes, homework, and any other materials you may need.
Never wait until the day before the test or the day before an assignment is due to seek assistance. Study a few hours each day, and keep up with your assignments. It is EASIER to keep up than to catch up. Peer Tutors reserve the right to decline requests for last minute assistance.
Keep a positive attitude about the subject and about your potential to excel. Your attitude will most often determine how well you do in the course.
Minimum Technical Requirements:
You will need a web camera, microphone and internet connection.
Policies
Policies
Tutoring sessions will be group sessions and will be scheduled at the same day and time each week. IF the Peer Tutor needs to change the date and time of the weekly session, the course manager will update you via Canvas Announcement.
Students will be asked to complete an evaluation form after each session. This will provide real time feedback for the PT and serve as a mechanism for taking attendance. Course faculty, PTC and PT will all have access to these documents. If a student is referred to PT as part of a course contract, the student MUST complete the session evaluation to ensure their attendance is noted. It will not be taken in any other format.
To schedule a one to one tutoring session, contact your tutor via email. Students MUST attend the group session in order to request a 1:1 session. PT reserve the right to refuse sessions if students are not attending group sessions, are requesting sessions late or at their discretion.
Both tutors and students should convey professional respect for each other.
Students must send tutor questions before the tutoring session so that the tutor can prepare ahead of the tutoring session.
Failure to abide by these policies may result in your suspension of peer tutor assistance.
**Please note that in the Fall 2025 Semester, ALL sessions are group sessions. Some courses have two tutors and those courses will determine the best way to meet student need. **
**There is not currently a mechanism in place for Medication Calculation Math Test Tutoring. Please reach out to the Course Managers for more resources. **
