Expectations

Of Learners:

Come prepared with all necessary materials (i.e. class notes, assignment guidelines, textbooks, writing drafts, flash drive, calculator, etc.).
Be an active participant in the tutoring session.
Be as specific as possible about what you are hoping to achieve in the tutoring session. Ask questions and listen to suggestions.
Attempt your homework on your own before bringing it to a tutor to help; a tutor cannot do your work for you. Bring your attempted work with you to compare and contrast with the original lesson.
Understand that more than two (2) unexcused no-shows per semester may result in losing access to WISE helpers.

Of Tutor:

Be punctual, supportive, and professional
Answer questions to the best of their abilities
Work WITH you but not FOR you
Be knowledgeable about other available resources to assist you
Set clear expectations about the session and encourage you to be an independent learner
Offer a positive attitude and be respectful of your diverse perspective and learning style
NOT correct your homework, projects, exams, or math. They will provide useful comments and suggestions to help foster independent learning.
