Tutoring
Tutors can’t do your work for you, but they can help you formulate study approaches that work best for you, enabling you to engage with the content more fully. In doing so, they may read your work for accuracy, help you to use technology more effectively and show you how to use the materials you already have—books, notes, handouts—to excel in your work. The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help you be more independent in your studies.

What to Expect from Tutoring
Ideally, rather than bringing just the unsolved homework problems to a tutoring session, the student should bring questions about ideas or terms occurring in the homework. (Preparation of these questions should be a central part of the student’s general preparation for a tutoring session). The tutor’s goal should be to work with the student so that the student can then finish their homework independently.
