Working with Tutors
Guidelines
If you have any questions about these guidelines, please make arrangements to talk with the Math Center Coordinator
- We collect information about who visits Math Center. This information is kept confidential so that we can track how our services are being used and make appropriate changes in our tutor training and schedule.
- We provide drop-in tutoring on a first-come, first-served basis and half-hour appointments when appropriate tutors are available. Study groups are encouraged; many students come in with study partners on a regular basis.
- We encourage self-sufficient and responsible learners. Read all materials connected to your assignment, like the syllabus, textbook, and notes, and attempt any assigned or practice exercises before your visit with us. Tutors will not correct or do your work for you, especially even-numbered exercises assigned for graded homework.
- We provide tutors who have some experience in all of the courses supported. Some tutors have more expertise in certain areas (calculus, statistics, discrete). We aim to have a consistent schedule, but we cannot guarantee that a specific tutor will work at a specific time.
- We support the expectations of the instructors and their syllabi. You are not allowed to bring in take-home exams or any other assignments for which the instructor has specified no outside help.
- Each client must agree to abide by the guidelines of the Math Center. If a client chooses to violate these guidelines, the client may be barred from using the Math Center services.
