Face-to-Face Tutoring:

• Bring your textbook, notes, calculator, and any assignments.

• Come prepared with questions—review your material in advance.

• For writing help, bring a rough draft (print or digital). You can also email it ahead to the Academic Success Center.

Online Tutoring:

• A mic, webcam, and speakers offer the best experience, but sessions can still be done via chat.

Keep in Mind:

• Sessions last 50 minutes, and tutors take breaks too.

• Tutors support your learning, but don’t replace your professor—visit them for missed lectures.

• If we can’t help, we’ll connect you with another tutoring lab on campus.
