What to Expect from Tutoring

Visiting with a tutor may be a regular practice or it may be your first appointment. In either case it is important to understand what to expect from a tutoring session. A peer tutor is a student, just like you. A peer tutor at the Success Center has been though these tough assignments, quizzes, tests and other materials before and knows what it takes to be successful.

You can expect a peer tutor to hold the topics the two of you discuss in confidence. Peer tutors may ask other tutors for help but will not discuss your business outside of the tutoring environment. We know that it can be difficult to ask someone you do not know for help; therefore we aspire to treat each student with dignity, patience and respect.

Peer tutors at the Success Center will help you polish the study skills you need to be successful including tips on time management, staying focused, avoiding procrastination, textbook reading strategies, memorization and test anxiety. They will help you identify learning obstacles, how to avoid them and enhance your communication skills to better comprehend subjects you may be struggling with.
