Preparing For Your Tutoring Session

- Student-Tutor Expectations
  - Students are expected to have their course materials related to the assignment ready when entering the Zoom tutoring rooms. These include: assignment sheets, textbooks, class notes, and class syllabus.
  - Tutors will provide suggestions on how to improve the students' work or guide students on how to solve problems. Tutors will not, however, do the students' assignment.
  - In addition to content support, tutors may cover study skills strategies as needed.
  - To promote independent learning, students are entitled to up to 30 minutes per session. Students are not permitted to have back-to-back sessions. Students who just finished a session must wait at least 30 minutes before signing up again for another session.
  - All students are required to abide by Mt. SAC's Standards of Conduct Policy and failure to do so may result in disciplinary action such as removal from the virtual tutoring room and/or suspending access to ASAC's online tutoring services.
- Maximizing Your Online Tutoring Sessions
  - Come prepared for your tutoring sessions with all the needed materials.
  - Get tutoring early and often to avoid falling behind in class.
  - Review your assignment and have your questions ready before your tutoring session.
  - Set realistic goals you want to accomplish. Tutors will not do the work for you, but they can help you get better at doing it yourself.
  - Actively participate in the tutoring session, and work with the tutor to identify and clarify areas that need strengthening.
