Prepare for Successful Tutoring Sessions
Tutoring can be very beneficial and help students get back on track, increase confidence, and achieve their academic goals. However, tutoring success depends on student engagement, commitment, and preparation. Here are a few tips and guidelines for preparing for your tutoring session:
Bring the book/books and necessary materials (example – calculator) that you use for the subject in which you will be tutored in.- Bring all previous homework assignments or tests that are relevant to what you will be tutored in.
- Bring a notebook and pencil for working through problems, taking notes, etc.
- Bring your planner that you use to track homework assignments and tests so that your tutor has a general idea of what to specifically work on/what will be due in the upcoming weeks. If you do not have a planner, write down your upcoming assignments and tests in a list format. Your tutor can print out a calendar-style planner for you to write down those upcoming tasks.
- Determine what you are specifically struggling with before your session. Then, at the beginning of the tutoring lesson, be sure to voice your specific concerns and what you are struggling with. In short, what is your goal for that session? Know this and share with your tutor.
