Making a Tutoring Appointment
Here are the steps for making a Tutoring Appointment in the Q&SC Scheduler :
1.) Using the Scheduler (accessed from Inside F&M), make an appointment with a tutor for your first tutoring session by clicking on an available/white block. Make sure to choose a day and time that works for your schedule every week. Whenever possible select a tutor assigned to your professor because he/she will be most familiar with your professor's specific content, teaching style and expectations.
2.) At your first tutoring session, you and your tutor will review and sign our Weekly Tutoring Contract.
3.) If you wish to meet every weekly for the remainder of the semester, your tutor will repeat your appointment in the Scheduler to reserve your day/time.
Please contact Julie Otter, jotter@fandm.edu, or a head tutor if you need assistance.
The Tutee Contract
All tutees wll review and sign an on-line contract when they set-up their weekly tutoring because having a weekly tutor is a commitment and the success of the partnership begins with everyone understanding their role and responsibilities.
As a tutee, I agree to the following:
- I understand that I am signing up for a weekly, one hour tutoring session. If I cannot keep an appointment, I must notify my tutor with as much notice as possible but at least 4 hours in advance.
- I agree that any session cancelled 4 hours or less before the scheduled time is counted as a no-show. If I have 2 "no -shows" in a semester, I will lose my tutoring privileges and must meet with the Q&SC Director/Assistant Director for reinstatment.
- I understand that my tutor is also a student. I agree to not exceed my one hour a week with the tutor and if I have additional questions, to utilize the Q&SC drop in hours, SI/PPW and/or single appointment tutoring.
- I agree that if I no longer need tutoring, I will notify my tutor.
- I understand that my tutor is also a student. I agree to not exceed my one hour a week with the tutor and if I have additional questions, to utilize the Q&SC drop in hours, SI/PPW and/or single appointment tutoring.
- I understand that as demand increases throughout the semester, more tutees may be added to my group. This group will not exceed 3 students.
I also acknowledge my right to be:
- Treated with respect by my tutors.
- Informed (upon request) of the kind of data collected by the Q&SC, who will have access to it, how it will be used, and how long it will be kept.
- Able to submit any questions or concerns I have about my tutoring experience through the Feedback Form on the Q&SC website.
