Peer Tutoring: Tip 3

Hi, Charlie here, again, with peer tutoring tip #3, and this one is all about using your common sense!

Tip #3: Don't Be Late!
I know, common sense, right?  But you would be surprised how many people I have known during my years of tutoring who show up 5, 10, even 20 minutes late for their own tutoring sessions. 

Tutors who are on time are showing their tutees that they are taking their tutoring duties seriously.  Punctual tutors are also showcasing the fact that they are professional, enthusiastic, and eager to help their tutees learn.  In contrast, a tutor who is chronically late to tutoring sessions gives the impression that he/she doesn't care enough about the tutee, or the tutoring, to make it to the session on time. 

So try to be on time for every one of your tutoring sessions.  If you're running late for some unavoidable reason, make sure to let your tutee, or the person in charge of the tutoring sessions (teacher, administrator, etc.), know as soon as possible.

Stay tuned for peer tutoring tip #4!
