Tutorial 101: The DO’s and DON’T’’s



DO:
           
Please be early: Tutors should always be early to a tutoring session.  Being prompt will show the tutee that you are dedicated in helping them.


DON’T:

            Be Late: Being late will make you look unprofessional and the tutee will think you are not respecting their time at the Tutoring Center.

DO:

            Be Professional: Always show the tutee that you are available and ready to help them.  Be aware of your body language and how you present to your students’. 

DON’T:

            Be Unprofessional: Please be aware of your body language.  Don’t sit too far from your tutee, always sit side by them, this shows that you are engaged and ready to help.  Don’t use cell phones’, profanity and remember ALWAYS look available!!!

DO:

            Listen to the needs of your students’: Many times your students will come and not know what to do or where to begin.  It is your duty to guide them as much as possible and they will open up to you and tell you what they need.

DON’T:

            Be their therapist: Although you want to be friendly and nice, don’t chat of things other than the topic of the paper.  If they seem to have a problem, don’t try and help them by talking about, simply address them towards a school counselor or to a phone number that deals with their particular issue.
