How do you get the most out of a tutoring session?
- Start right away. Students who begin tutoring from the beginning of the semester typically do better than those who wait.
- Book your appointments early. During peak times, you may need to book at least a week in advance to get the times you want.
- Come prepared. Please bring your class notes and textbook. Look over the reading and try the problems. If you can, bring a list of specific questions. The more you prepare, the more you will get out of the session.
- If you miss a class, please get notes from a classmate before your session. Tutoring is not a substitute for attending class.
- If you are repeating the course (previous grade of "F" or "W"), you are eligible to participate in the Math Advancement Program (MAP), which provides weekly one-on-one tutoring with an experienced tutor. Please see Mr. Neil Caesar in 1.94NB for details.
- If you are a SEEK student, you have access to an additional resource of the SEEK Mathematics Support Program.
