How to maximize your tutoring appointment:

• Avoid waiting until the last minute to request tutoring services. The tutoring center tends to be busier during midterms and finals, so plan accordingly.
• Arrive early and prepare a plan or questions about the material you want to cover. Don’t forget to bring your textbook and any relevant materials with you!
• Try to complete your assignments before the session and note any specific concepts where you need help.
• Don’t assume that tutors will do your work for you or provide answers without involving you in the learning process.
• Actively participate in tutoring sessions and be open to the tutor’s feedback and suggestions.
• Avoid disclosing or discussing non-academic or irrelevant information during your tutoring sessions.
• Allow tutors to help you focus on key concepts and take notes on what is discussed during the session.
• Avoid interrupting other students' tutoring appointments. Please be respectful of everyone in the Learning Center.
• Utilize faculty office hours to confirm you are on the right track.
• Don't be afraid to try something new! Embrace challenges and explore different approaches.
