Tutoring & Instruction: What to Expect

Before setting an appointment, we will seek to understand what you need and what you expect from of the tutoring and instruction.  Then, we will arrange an appointment at a convenient site.  We can meet at your home, my home, a library, etc.

When we meet, the tutor will ask the student questions about what material the class is doing.  The tutor will evaluate the student to see how best to help.  The tutor will use strategies to help the student learn, to help the student think through the problems.  The tutor will record a summary of each session for later reference.

The tutor will not do the student's homework or project.  In many ways, a tutor is like a coach.  The tutor is a facilitator to help the student learn.  The student will not learn if someone else does the work.

The student must come with class books, materials, assignments, and questions.  The student needs to be willing to try.   Willingness to try is a key learning any subject.
