Tutor Scheduling
Arranging a consistent, weekly schedule at the beginning of the tutoring engagement is critical for ensuring tutoring consistency, which is far more effective than ad-hoc session scheduling. This also helps to prevent inevitable schedule conflicts as the year progresses. However, to simplify the management of the inevitable schedule changes that pop up with students – and to accept new assignment requests – tutors must manage their own tutor schedules.
Tutors are responsible for consistently maintaining and monitoring their schedules in TutorBird. Note that TutorBird has one-way calendar syncing capabilities, automatically replicating TutorBird schedule entries to the tutor’s personal calendar (the tutor’s calendar does not replicate to TutorBird).
Note: To schedule open session availability, tutors must ensure their tutoring subjects are current in their profiles in order to show availability to students who are interested in the tutor’s particular tutoring subjects (History, Writing, Math, etc.).
