Make the Most of Your Tutoring SessionsÌý

Come preparedÌýÌý
This means you should attend class, take notes, read the textbook, attempt the homework and come to your session with questions.ÌýÌý

Set a goalÌýÌý
Think about what you want to get out of your tutoring session and communicate with your tutor mentor via chat in Penji. This allows you and your tutor mentor to come prepared to the tutoring appointment.Ìý

Learn with your tutor mentorÌýÌý
Tutor mentors work with you—not for you. They help you think through concepts, share study strategies and develop skills but they will not do your homework for you.Ìý

Make an effortÌýÌý
Tutor mentors provide academic support, but they do not guarantee grades or evaluate your work. You still need to put the effort in before, during and after tutoring sessions for success.Ìý

Provide feedbackÌýÌý
Provide session feedback on Penji at the end of each tutoring session.Ìý
