Peer Tutoring: Tip 2

Hi guys, Charlie again with tip #2 of 8 for peer tutors:

Tip #2: Get the Details.
Find out exactly is involved in you being a peer tutor.   What are your exact tutor job duties?  Will you be helping your peer tutee with in class work?  Will you be tutoring the skills needed to improve homework assignments?  What type of student will you be tutoring?  How is he/she performing in class?  Where will you meet to tutor?

It is next to impossible to be a successful tutor if you aren't sure who you are tutoring, where you are tutoring, or what you will be doing.

Ask the person in charge of the tutoring program about the details, get the details from him/her.   If all else fails, make a quick appointment to meet with your peer tutee, and get the details for some of the above questions from him/her.

That's it for now; Stay tuned for Peer Tutoring Tip #3!
