TUTORING TIPS
Come prepared.
Compile a list of questions and bring all relevant course materials (e.g., class notes, textbook(s), returned tests or quizzes, etc.) to your session. Tutoring sessions can be canceled if you arrive unprepared.
Get to know your tutor's role.
All peer tutors are recommended by TU faculty members and their job is to assist you in understanding significant course concepts, develop problem-solving strategies and suggest study techniques. Tutors will not complete or assist with specific homework, project, writing and/or research assignments. Tutors may not be able to answer all questions.

We want to hear about your experiences with our services. You can provide your feedback in two ways:
- Share feedback by logging-in to TracCloud™.
