Whether you're trying to pass a course or maintain a 4.0, working with a tutor can be extremely helpful.  Tutors provide FREE one-on-one assistance that may not be available in the classroom.  They are experienced and qualified students who can enable you to have a better understanding of the materials at hand and teach you how to find and correct your own errors.  Tutors make it possible for you to do your homework and learn from your mistakes.

When coming to see a tutor, make sure you are prepared. 

Make sure to set aside a large block of time to work with a tutor.  Working with a tutor is not a quick fix; you must allow a significant amount of time to adequately cover the materials.  Your active participation is necessary for your tutoring session to be successful. 

Make sure to try your homework yourself before coming to see a tutor.  This will allow you to know in what areas you need the most help and to make the time you spend with a tutor more effective. 

When seeing a writing tutor:

• Two copies of your paper (one for you and one for the tutor)

• The assignment from the professor (what he/she says should be included in the paper)

•  A pen or pencil

Proofread your paper first. Try to make your paper as close to a finished product as you can on your own.  This will not only help you become a better writer, but also it will make the time you spend with a tutor much more effective.

When seeing a subject area tutor:

• Your assignment

• Your textbooks necessary to complete the assignment or prepare for an exam

• A pen or pencil

Any additional tools or materials necessary to complete the assignment or prepare for an exam (i.e. a calculator, graphs, handouts).
